This Little Dark Place By A.S Hatch
Rating: 4
How well do you know yourself? Or How well do you speculate
things?
Reading this book, I was confidently going with the thought of the protagonist Daniel, but then I found that my speculation sucked big
time. The last few pages changed my whole point of view.
The story starts off with Daniel writing a letter to a
person name Lucy. We don’t know who Lucy until the very end.
The couple Daniel and Victoria tried to conceive for a very
long time, but in vain. They took medical assistant but ended up with
miscarriage. Slowly their happily built up nest got filled up with depression.
Each started their own way to cope with life. Victoria joined Yoga program
while Daniel joined a pen pal program where he gets to write letter to a
prisoner. There he meets Ruby. Convicted of assault on an abusive partner. They both write to each other, sharing their
darkest secret, making ruby slowly like Daniel. And one day she comes to find
Daniel. Meanwhile Victoria is unaware of the entire thing. How will Daniel
manage Ruby whom he thinks is somewhat Schizophrenic.
The story is more deep than what the blurb has portrayed.
Throughout the book reader can predict what is happening and
who is doing until the end will blow you off.
Though the switching back and forth in the letter was little
difficult to understand at times,but overall enjoyed the thriller.
I received this from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
The book is expected to release on 3rd
of Oct 2019
