Maggie restores old homes, and she just found out she has inherited from her father the one house she'd like to forget forever: Baneberry Hall. We meet Maggie Holt, one of two protagonists, soon after her dad, Ewan, dies.


"Home Before Dark" (Dutton, 384 pp., ★★★★ out of four), the latest thriller from bestselling author Riley Sager (out Tuesday), starts off by telling us that "every house has a story to tell and a secret to share." Could revisiting an old house reveal the truth? What if a few weeks from a summer during your childhood had overshadowed your entire life? And what if any details you've been given about it might all be lies?
