Publisher Description

"Propulsive and chilling." --People Magazine

"An intoxicating thrill ride. Hillier jams her foot on the accelerator and never lets up." --New York Times Book Review

Things We Do in the Dark is a brilliant new thriller from Jennifer Hillier, the award-winning author of the breakout novels Little Secrets and Jar of Hearts. Paris Peralta is suspected of killing her celebrity husband, and her long-hidden past now threatens to destroy her future.


When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom—covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her—she knows she'll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it's not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it's only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she's worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future.

Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she's unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris's secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all.

Because the only thing worse than a murder charge are two murder charges.

Thinking Face“3.5 ⭐️ I actually quite enjoyed this one! I liked how diverse the characters were, the jumps in timeline weren’t always very clear so that was something you had to get used to. I had no idea what was going on with Jimmy’s death, the way it was written made it seem like three options as to how he died. At the end of the book it’s actually a completely different reason than what we were being led to believe. Joey had a very intense backstory, and a terrible mother, but I loved her character”
