“Technology sucks, kid. Always best to go old school.”

Whew what a ride! Things We Do in the Dark is a compelling, dark, and haunting thriller. When Paris’ celebrity husband, Jimmy Peralta, is found dead in the bathtub and Paris is next to him holding a straight razor, it’s not looking good for her. Especially when he’s thirty years her elder and worth a LOT of money. But with a past she doesn’t want to come to light, Paris is more nervous about media attention than murder convictions. Told from dual perspectives, this story goes between past and present to wind the whole twisty tale together. While I was questioning what really happened to Jimmy for the whole book, there was so much else unfolding and a couple other big twists. I did find those on the easier side to guess, but the story was so engaging that I wanted to keep reading to find out if I was right and see what else happened. The subject matter of this book is dark, so definitely look up trigger warnings.
