Riley Sager writes suspense and thriller. We've read and reviewed 3 of Riley Sager's books, including Home Before Dark and The Only One Left, each scored and written up in full, with a clear verdict on who it's for.
Home Before Dark
by Riley Sager
Riley Sager tells two stories at once: a woman returning to renovate the Victorian estate her father made famous in a bestselling haunted-house memoir, and the chapters of that memoir itself. The dual structure is the whole game, and Sager plays it for maximum doubt about which account, if either, to trust.
Final Girls
by Riley Sager
Riley Sager's 2017 breakout asks what happens when three women who each survived a separate massacre, dubbed "the Final Girls" by the press, are forced into contact after one of them turns up dead.
The Only One Left
by Riley Sager
Riley Sager's The Only One Left drops a disgraced home-health aide into a Maine cliffside mansion to nurse the woman blamed for a 1929 family massacre, a stroke survivor who can answer only on a typewriter. A gothic whodunit with a genuinely fair central twist and a collapsing house doing half the work.
