I read That Night for the January 2017 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove.

I'm sorry to say it was pretty disappointing.

The book is all about Toni Murphy and how she was wrongly convicted for the murder of her sister. But what if you don't like Toni Murphy? What if the character is super unlikeable? Where does that leave you for 300+ pages?

Bottom line? This is one of those books where you can read the first and last 50 pages and save yourself the time of the rambling and largely irrelevant filler in-between. It read like a YA novel for much of it, even when main characters get into their 30s.

I never liked Toni and so never became invested in her plight. The reveal at the end was OK, so that saves it from being a complete dud for me, but I couldn't recommend it. There are authors out there writing far better quality mysteries than this. I renamed it That Yawn. ;-)
