This was a fun read for the most part. It picked up quickly and has a steady rhythm to it as each chapter comes back to a different character's viewpoint, but not in a tedious way. The chapters go by quickly, so you're never left hanging for too long when each character's chapter leaves you with a cliffhanger. The end felt a bit contrived, though, and I thought it was a bit of a letdown after what was otherwise a captivating ride. I felt the same way reading Girl on a Train, too, but a lot of people loved the ending to that one, so go ahead and give Dark Places a try and decide for yourself. It's definitely a page turner, and despite the ending not being what I'd hoped for, it still didn't feel like a waste of time.
