Reviews

Praise for Dark Corners:

"An intriguing dive into the dark and mysterious world of social media influencers. The riveting plot and twists kept me turning pages until the jaw-dropping conclusion!" --Freida McFadden, New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

"A gripping story that is equal parts shocking, unnerving, and thrilling. Goldin takes the 'true crime' trope to new and unexpected territory." --Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of Girl, Forgotten "The Night Swim was quite a good novel, but this one is more complex, more frightening. Goldin keeps readers on their toes, offering tantalizing clues to what's really going on but keeping the truth a closely-guarded secret until it's time to reveal it. A third Rachel Krall novel would be most welcome." --Booklist

"Goldin is a master puppeteer as she presents false flags and red herrings galore.... Read DARK CORNERS for the wonderful plot, relatable characters and suspenseful twists." --Book Reporter

"The pages turn themselves...a sleek, well-crafted ride to a surprisingly twisty conclusion." --New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice "The Escape Room works as the ultimate locked-room mystery...Goldin excels at illustrating the pressures of a Wall Street career." --Associated Press "Addicting." --Time Magazine "High wire tension from the first moment to the last.

One of my favorite books of the year." --Lee Child "Amazing...a thriller set in an elevator [that explores] the vast territory of people's worst natures. A nightmarish look inside ourselves.
