Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
5.0
Lock Every Door is a masterpiece. My rating system is pretty standard. The higher the emotional impact or the desire to scream (positively) about a book, the higher the star count. I wish I could give this book ten stars.
This is my second Riley Sager read, the first being Home Before Dark. I'm going to have to purchase all of his books from now on. His writing is fantastic and got me into thrillers. If you're new to the genre, I highly suggest picking up Lock Every Door.
It's heart-wrenching, page-turning, and you'll spend hours on the couch without realizing they've passed. Lock Every Door had me gasping out loud, covering my mouth, and sincerely had me shocked throughout most of the novel.
There was one part of the book that I saw coming a mile away (no spoilers), but I'm willing to forgive it because the book was so well done. I'm a sucker for good endings to thrillers and holy shit... this one will not disappoint.
Sager almost lost me with one plot point toward the end. I was around fifty pages away from being done and something happened that had me iffy on finishing it. I'm glad I did, though, because that small part of the book was quickly swept under the rug and replaced with something much more sinister.
I did cry at the end of this book. Although, it wasn't because of the plot itself. There was one line in the epilogue regarding George (if you know, you know). That got me. What ends up happening to him got me.
I'm a notorious hater of epilogues, but Sager got it right.
Thank you for writing such a great book.
