A review by annarella
The Night Shift by Alex Finlay

5.0

I loved Every Last Fear and I think it’s one of the most original and gripping thriller I read in 2020.
The Night Shift is even better and it’s got a high rate in both “Sleep deprivation” and “Read it as fast as I could” scale, I started it yesterday afternoon and didn’t switch the light off till I turned the last pages.
It’s breathtaking reading experience: it’s one of those “Another chapter” type of book and this becomes a sort of mantra till you read the last chapter.
There a complex story and there’s multiple POVs: Ellie the survivor, Sarah the FBI investigator, Chris the brother of the main suspect.
Each of them is working to catch a multiple killer, each them is related to two massacre for differen reasons.
I loved all of them, was moved by their story and rooted for them hoping they could find peace or simply discover who did it.
It’s a complex thriller, I was surprised by the solution and couldn’t guess any twist.
I’m also starting to think that Alex Finlay can’t write a book that will surprise me and force me to read it in one setting.
Gripping, compelling, riveting: there’s a long list of adjectives that could be used for this book.
I will be short: read it!
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Aries and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
