Book Description
“Fans of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None will be riveted by Rader-Day’s latest psychological thriller, which makes you question who you really know and trust and whether you should be afraid of the dark.”—Library Journal, Starred Review"A brilliant concept, brilliantly told!" --Jeffery Deaver, New York Times Bestselling Author
Only in the dark can she find the truth . . .
Since her husband died, Eden Wallace's life has diminished down to a tiny pinprick, like a far-off star in the night sky. She doesn't work, has given up on her love of photography, and is so plagued by night terrors that she can't sleep without the lights on. Everyone, including her family, has grown weary of her grief. So when she finds paperwork in her husband's effects indicating that he reserved a week at a dark sky park, she goes. She's ready to shed her fear and return to the living, even if it means facing her paralyzing phobia of the dark.
But when she arrives at the park, the guest suite she thought was a private retreat is teeming with a group of twenty-somethings, all stuck in the orbit of their old college friendships. Horrified that her get-away has been taken over, Eden decides to head home the next day. But then a scream wakes the house in the middle of the night. One of the friends has been murdered. Now everyone—including Eden—is a suspect.
Everyone is keeping secrets, but only one is a murderer. As mishaps continue to befall the group, Eden must make sense of the chaos and lies to evade a ruthless killer—and she'll have to do it before dark falls…

My Review
Under a Dark Sky is the second book of Lori Rader Day's that I have read. I have really enjoyed both books.
A dark sky park in Michigan is the setting for the book. I had never heard of a dark sky park before...have you? So great new setting! People go to dark sky parks to see the sky. Living in Canada and having plenty of dark skies, I did not know there was such a thing. Now I do!
Fascinating story about a woman who finds a reservation to a hotel she has never heard of among her deceased husband's belongings. She believes he prebooked it for their anniversary. What she finds is a rented house full of people she does not know. And then one of them dies....
Eden seems to be living in Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. But what Eden really finds out is a lot about herself, her marriage and her future.
Great storytelling! Loved this book!
Highly recommend Under a Dark Sky.
