The Darkness of Others by Cate Holahan
3.0

This one had me in the beginning and then lost me along the way. Most times I love an ensemble cast and shifting viewpoints but here I think a couple of them were unnecessary and didn’t really add any value. The twists may be surprising to someone who doesn’t read many thrillers but it seemed so obvious to me that I wasn’t surprised at all. It’s also set in the early days of the pandemic and I didn’t love being back in that time period. Not really the book for me, but it was a fast read and the audio version was well produced and probably what kept me reading while I was cleaning. I’ve also enjoyed the authors books in the past and will definitely give her a other try in the future.
