![]() Sometimes in desperation a good girl must do something bad to get to a better place, and sometimes her secrets surface. Things We Do in the Dark continues Jennifer Hillier’s keen insight into the psyche of people and their motivations. My favorite book by this author is still Jar of Hearts, because it was the first book that truly made me see someone who did something very bad in a new light. Hillier’s focus on her main character is more on circumstance and related behavior, showing readers that given the right (or wrong) circumstances, everyone has a capacity to do, well, things they don’t want to see the light of day, maybe even those salt of the earth people. And, there are people who are truly evil, some who are psychopaths or sociopaths and some who seem to defy diagnosis. Of course, there are those people who are so good and nice and thoughtful, you cringe at your own comparison. ![]() ![]() Not all good, not all bad is usually how a person’s character untangles. Jennifer Hillier is brilliant at showing the complexity of a human being. ![]()
