If Something Happens to Me by Alex Finlay

4.0

---

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!
