A review by mburam
Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay

Every Last Fear is a solid plot driven murder mystery for spring reading! It tells the story of a college-age student Matt, whose family is murdered under mysterious circumstances in Mexico. A secondary mystery in the story involves his older brother, who is in jail for the murder of his high school girlfriend, which was the subject of a recent TV documentary. The murder of his family may have to do with their continued attempts to prove his innocence.

The story is told from multiple points of view of the family, prior to the murder, as well as Matt and a Special Agent in the present moment. I did find the constant switching between point of view and time to be a little jarring. The ending was also not a complete surprise, but the pace of the novel kept me engaged until the last page where everything comes to a satisfying conclusion. I would recommend to readers that enjoy contemporary thrillers/murder mysteries.

Thanks to Net Galley and Minotaur for the advance copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
