Things we Do in the Dark Summary
When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom―covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her―she knows she’ll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it’s not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it’s only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she’s worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future.
Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she’s unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris’s secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of July 2022: With her last two novels, Jar of Hearts and Little Secrets, Jennifer Hillier established herself as a master of psychological suspense, and with Things We Do in the Dark, she knocks it out of the park again. Paris Peralta’s carefully curated life with her wealthy celebrity husband ends abruptly when she’s arrested—drenched in blood and holding a straight razor—after her hubby is found murdered in the bathtub of their home. And that’s only the second most worrying issue she’s contending with: the publicity from the scandal catching the attention of people in Paris’s past is a much greater concern. Hillier sets this riveting roundhouse of a novel off with a bang, and then builds the suspense to unbearable heights with red herrings, dark secrets, twisted relationships, and a jaw-socking reveal or two. Summer just got hotter. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor

“A twisted dark love story wrapped in a haunting emotional journey–this sinister and gripping psychological thriller is an absolute winner. A riveting tale of innocence and experience, of necessity and revenge, and the understanding of power, Things We Do in the Dark takes us places we never thought we’d go, and reveals the perils of fame, family, and ambition. Jennifer Hillier writes with passion, compassion and bravery. This book is a triumph.” ―Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of Her Perfect Life
“One of the best writers in the genre, Jennifer Hillier is synonymous with the deeply thought-provoking, raw, twisty thriller.

Stunningly propulsive, brilliantly written, and irresistibly addictive, this is hands-down one of the most powerful books I’ve ever read.” ―Samantha M.
