3.0

While the twists were not that mind-blowing, The Night Shift was still pretty entertaining especially when read by listening to the audiobook. I think the narrators did a fantastic job that added to the reading experience. It had a lot of elements into it: the last survivor of brutal murders, the brother of the murder suspect, and the FBI agent trying to figure out the mystery of both past and present murders. Additionally, I liked the writing style as well. I’ve been meaning to get into Alex Finlay’s books and now I’m even more curious about their other works.

This was an inspiring murder mystery book. It was a ton of twists and turns. I enjoyed going along for the ride. There were a few things I didn’t see coming but I’m getting better at figuring out these thrillers! I highly recommend it as a thriller to keep your blood pressure high.
