    May 28 2021

    Today we are talking about the Home Before Dark, the latest thriller novel of Riley Sager. It came out in June 2020, it’s his fourth book, and I really wanted to buy it, but I had to be mindful of my book budget. I ended putting it on hold at my library, thus I had to wait several months before it became available.
