This was a fast-paced thriller with a missing girl presumed dead, a notorious crime boss, and a new deputy sheriff thing to put the pieces together when new evidence comes to light.
There are three primary narrators: Rya who who is accused of murdering Alison, Poppy who is the new deputy sheriff, and Shane who is a crime boss. I really liked having multiple POVs, as it led to more suspense and secrets being slowly revealed from the various characters at play.
The plot for this one is a little over the top and hard to believe, however, it was still very gripping and will have you hooked. I kept reading to see what other twists were in store, and I was not let down.
At times I did find it to be confusing just due to the amount of characters involved in the story. I had to keep flipping back to see who was who.
Overall though this was such a fun book to read, and I loved all of the drama and twists!

I really enjoyed listening to If Something Happens to Me by Alex Finlay. The narrators were great and made the story come alive. I was on the edge of my seat and I loved every minute of it!
Thank you to Macmillan Audio, NetGalley, and Alex Finlay for the complimentary audio. All opinions expressed above are my own.
This was fine, I didn't love it. Felt a bit far fetched overall and the characters a bit flat. The mystery was pretty good, I was a bit surprised at the reveal.
This book blew my mind. If I didn’t know better grammatically, I’d say it literally blew my mind. Except for one, I didn’t see any of the many twists coming and the foreshadowing of these twists, though very much included, was subtle enough that you had an aha moment right after reading the twist.
I would absolutely recommend this books to readers. It will stick with me for a long time to come.

A big thank you to @netgalley @stmartinspress @minotaurbooks for the ARC & @macmillianaudio for the ALC of this book!
Alex Finlay’s latest thriller is true to his style, short chapters, fast paced storylines & ample characters. I enjoyed the way that this books kept me on my toes & was a fairly quick read & listen!
I struggle a bit when it comes to the number of characters, similar names and/or in this instance different names for the same characters. I think that was the main reason why I rated it a 4⭐️. A personal preference of mine in books, especially thrillers, would be to have less characters because I find that a lot of my mental energy then is spent on figuring out who is who, rather than paying attention to various details of the storyline.
I appreciated how this book brought in different layers of complexity in many different ways, crossing timelines & geography too! The way Alex Finlay writes about the settings & locations in his books with such attention to detail is definitely a strength as well!
If you’re looking for a bingeable thriller to keep you guessing & on your toes, look no further!
