Chasing the Dark could be a good read for young adults looking for a compelling mystery that deals with themes of grief and family secrets. The book's most distinctive feature is its use of an empty mansion of a former movie star as the setting for the dangerous mystery Joe unlocks about his mother's death. The novel is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train.
