Thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for the digital copy of this audiobook; I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Alex Finlay is the reason why I read more thrillers these days. I really enjoyed Every Last Fear and The Night Shift, so I was eager to read Parents Weekend, which features the return of FBI Special Agent Sarah Keller, who is a character that deserved better than this book.

That’s not to say Parents Weekend is bad. I’m glad to have read it, but it could have been something much better. Narrating by Brittany Pressley helped (she’s fast becoming one of my go-to narrators), but overall, I just couldn’t get invested in the story. Told from multiple POV, some characters worked better than others.

I do have to say that while I didn’t find this an excellent book, but merely a good book, I didn’t guess the ending, so that’s saying something. I would still recommend this book to fans of domestic thrillers, but it’s not Finlay’s best outing.
