Parents Weekend by Alex Finlay
5.0

Thanks, Macmillan Audio, for the ALC! 
 
Honestly, I picked this book because Brittany Pressley narrated it, and I’m just a massive fan of her narrations. I also know that a lot of my friends talk about how much they like Alex Finlay’s works, so I figured it would be a good story. I made a good choice! PARENTS WEEKEND is a fast-paced mystery with many characters, and Pressley does a fantastic job of switching between them, as she always does. 
 
I enjoyed Finlay’s writing style a lot. It’s fast-paced with short chapters that kept me intrigued and wanting more. I didn’t think it went extremely deep into the character development, but that worked for this story. 
 
I did like meeting Agent Keller, who is from two of his previous works - EVERY LAST FEAR and THE NIGHT SHIFT - which are now on my tbr! 
 
I’m glad this was my introduction to Alex Finlay, and I’m very excited to explore his backlist now!
