i enjoyed the heavy giallo movie vibes that dead by dusk had going, along with the menacing and tense authorial voice. sadly, the weak character work, boring "romance" and the fact that pace is all over the place, completely unbalanced, made the reading experience Not Great ©. wasn't bad, some of the secondary characters were very entertaining and made up for the pair of bland protagonists i had to follow along.
