Parents Weekend
Alex Finlay
Publishing Date: May 6, 2025

🎧 Narrator: Brittany Pressley 🎧

It’s parents weekend at a small private college in California. Five parents show up for a planned dinner.. and their kids do not. The rest of the books switches between the POV of the 5 families and the lead investigator. 

This was a solid thriller with a police procedural flavor. While I didn’t try to figure out the twists and just went for the ride, I could see how many might figure out at least one of them ahead of time. If you’re looking for a quick and easy thriller that you can binge in a day, this is a great choice!

🎧 Brittany Pressley was amazing in her narration as always! As there are so many POV‘s, I did have to focus to figure out who was who, and a tandem read may have made that a little easier. But no regrets doing this one on audio!
