We Are All the Same in the Dark is a beautifully written novel that I'd put much further on the side of mystery than thriller. The story begins in the perspective of Wyatt when he is driving his truck and finds a nearly dead teenage girl on the side of the road. Despite hesitation, he brings her to his home to help her. When Wyatt realizes the girl has only one eye, he is shocked and beside himself with fear. 

Quickly thereafter, we shift to the perspective of Wyatt's old love and close friend, Odette. Odette lost one of her legs in a tragic car crash at sixteen. She comes to help rescue with the injured, mystery girl and we discover things are not as they have seemed. 

In short, this story is about small town secrets, unresolved murders, and a potential serial killer. I found the first half of the book quick and engaging and the second half quite slow. The ending was not what I had guessed, but it still managed to feel slow and haphazard. Ultimately, what I loved most about this book was the lovely but not overly verbose prose and the dynamic female characters living with disability in an ableist world. I wish the plot had delivered a bit more.
