The Goodreads rating system has 2 stars= "it was ok." And that was this book, it was just ok.
It wasn't the worst book I've read and didn't feel like a chore finishing it, but it just was meh. Not the most "thrilling" thriller book that I've encountered.
It starts strong and then fizzles out quickly leaving the reader with an unnecessary overstuffed play-by-play of everyday life that doesn't focus on the murder mystery thriller.
Not very interested in a vague character study that does nothing to push the story along and then the last 10% of the book has an outlandish ending and reasoning that felt rushed.
It was a quick read and again the beginning is what kept me going to get the reveal finally.

Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay
Multiple viewpoints provide insight into the characters of this story as the author seamlessly weaves the past and present together to explain a twisted tale that destroyed many lives. A debut novel by an author that has a bright future.
What I liked:
* The plot and writing
* The way the pieces all came together in the end
* That the truth finally came out
* That there were a few good men left to tell the story and witness to what happened
* FBI Agent Sarah Keller: intelligent, professional, incisive, dedicated, and also a loving mother and wife – balanced and admirable.
* Bob: Sarah’s husband, a man that is wise and an anchor to keep Sarah grounded
* Matt: college student, typical for his age, conflicted about his older brother, and has a lot to contend with.
* The way the facts were slowly presented to provide the whole account – an account that resonated and felt “right” in the end
* The secrets
* The complexity and layers
* That it felt believable – I was drawn in and felt part of the story
* That I had a feeling of satisfaction and that justice had been, or would be, served
* Getting to read a well written book by a new-to-me author
What I didn’t like:
* The murders that could have been prevented
* The callous lack of regard for life some in the story had for others
* That many aspects of this story were believable – sad that people do behave as some characters in this story did.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
