He is a master craftsman, and Middle of the Night is a superlative novel."
--Booklist

"I've read all of Riley Sager's novels and Middle of the Night is my new favorite. It's a sweet-and-spooky story about an unsolved mystery, childhood friendships, and things that go bump in the night--with plenty of 90s nostalgia and a twist I never saw coming. Read it outdoors with a flashlight on a warm summer's evening--if you dare!"
--Jason Rekulak, bestselling author of Hidden Pictures

"Middle of the Night is Riley Sager at his masterful best--this story is dark, scary, and twisty, but also bittersweet. It's the secrets that hide in a bucolic neighborhood on a summer night, lingering in the freshly cut grass and the sound of crickets. You will follow these fascinating characters through its brilliantly woven plot all the way to the unexpected, poignant end."
--Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Road
