“Middle of the Night” has many good plot twists, and I was consistently curious to know what happened to Billy Barringer. There is a paranormal element, which I didn’t foresee because it wasn’t advertised to me. This isn’t normally to my taste, but it was subdued enough I didn’t mind it. I liked the main character, Ethan Marsh, and I thought the cul-de-sac setting fit the story well. The flashbacks to the day Billy went missing told from different character’s perspectives was my favorite part. A whole lot happens in that one day. Overall a very solid thriller.
