It took me about 50 or so pages to get into it, but then I didn't want to put it down.

Middle of the Night had me genuinely scared at moments - heart pounding, gasping aloud, having to step away to catch my breath - and by the end just had my heart aching.

It is gripping, and the twists and turns of the plot had me shocked over and over. Granted, I never see a plot twist coming. However, there were so many twists and moments of "It must be HIM! No...it was HER! But wait! Actually it was..." that it almost got a little old. It's not that I think the book dragged, but I didn't appreciate how much the plot teased and tugged me around. It's the only reason I docked it from 5 stars. Well that, and I didn't like that there were still some loose ends to Johnny's part of the story that I would've liked to see wrapped up.

I will certainly be adding more of Sager's thrillers to my list!
