Middle of the Night

 

Riley Sager's latest was great. Ethan's best friend, Billy, disappeared in the middle of the night out of the tent in Ethan's backyard where the 10 year olds were camping. He was never found. The police didn't have a lot of suspects, and the case went cold.

Thirty years later, Ethan is still plagued by nightmares about that night. He's recently moved back into his childhood home after his parents have relocated to Florida. Ironically, all of the original homeowners (other than Billy's parents) are still in the neighborhood. 

Told in alternating chapters between 1994 and 2024, there are plenty of Sager's red herrings and unexpected twists and turns. It had a satisfying conclusion.
