The Night Shift

I really enjoyed this! Loved the multiple perspectives and the pacing was great. Bonus that it featured Blockbuster Video (my favorite former employer) so prominently!

Interesting plot. Lots and lots of building up for a very rushed ending.

A fun story with lots of twists that keep you guessing on multiple important pieces needed to solve the murders.

This was a great mystery read! There was a copycat murder from a long time ago. The one survivor from the last murder is trying to help the one survivor from this murder. There are several different story lines going on and I was trying to figure our how all of the pieces fit together. There were a few twists and turns along the way that I didn't expect so that kept me engaged. I enjoyed this book and will be looking for other books by this author. Thanks to NetGalley for giving me this advanced copy to read.

I didn’t find this super captivating, but it was decent.

Story was good but it felt like it was written for an audience that never heard a police procedural before.

This was a super fast paced book that kept me intrigued the entire time. There were definitely a few things that were inaccurate, as far as the foster care piece, but willing to overlook for the storyline.
