            Review: Home Before Dark - Riley Sager - June 2020 At the beginning of the year, I decided that 2023 would be my year of catching up and reading all of Riley Sager's backlist and after finishing this one, I only have two left which includes his most recent release. Home Before Dark is a tale that reminds me of The Amityville Horror and a Haunting in Connecticut as we meet Maggie Holt whose family was famous as her father wrote a book based on the hauntings of Banbury Manor where they lived for only 20 days when Maggie was five years old.
