We Are All the Same in the Dark
by Julia Heaberlin
I've been on a haunt to find books in this genre (Thriller/mystery/horror) that match something like Dark Places or Gone Girl from Gillian Flynn. But I can't seem to find something that engrossed me as much.
However, that's not to say this is a bad book.
Basically it opens up with a girl with one eye in a field rescued by a guy who the town believes murdered his own sister and father years ago. When Odette, our main lead for the majority of the book, comes to Wyatt, the man who the town believes is a killer to find out who this girl is, it leads down a path of lies and death.
Odette is a solid lead that basically doesn't trust anyone but also has to deal with the fact she has a relationship she might have ruined while still dealing with her past and Wyatt who she used to the date. The bloody path to the truth leads to a few nice twist.
There's really TWO twist in here. The major twist, the who done it, is extremely easy to guess. In fact I guessed it within the first hour of listening to this book. However, the second twist, which happens a little bit more than half way through the book is a nice shift of narration I didn't see coming and was welcome.
I think the story itself is interesting to keep going even if the plot itself seems to easy to guess, least for me. The characters are all decent, but none really made me care for them in a way I was worried for their safety.
It's a solid who done it murder mystery with slimy ass country folk. So if that's your thing, it's a solid read, just not great.
