The Hour Before Dark

Easy read, but pretty bland

This is one of those books that keeps you reading even though nothing is really happening. Lots of talking about what happened in the past and reactions to a single event in the present, before things started kicking into gear about 75% into the book.
I also found the writing style a little juvenile for my taste, and I'm not into pretentious books at all, so that says something.
I did enjoy it, but was just a bit meh.
