The Night Shift
by Alex Finlay
The Night Shift by Alex Finlay
Dark twisted tale of brutal murders that take place fifteen years apart. Both killings as shops were about to close and teens working there are slaughtered…but who did it and why?
What I liked:
* Sarah Keller: FBI Special Agent, 8 months pregnant with twins, married to Bob, unrelenting, intelligent, focused, a force to be reckoned with
* Ella: survivor of the first killings, therapist, probably has PTSD and a few other issues, good hearted if a bit different. Enjoyed getting to know her better as the story progressed
* Chris: public defender, adopted, difficult childhood, loved his mother, seeks justice for those in need, courageous, has secrets
* Josie: survivor of the second killings, focused, intelligent, strong, researching the first killings at the Blockbuster, has secrets and a difficult backstory
* Vince: older brother, protective, accused of murder, disappeared while out on bail
* The twists, turns, and red herrings
* The police procedural elements of the story
* Atticus: authority in the local department on the Blockbuster murders, works with Sarah on the new case, good man
* The plot and writing
* Slowly learning what happened in the past and present…what TRULY happened
* That the Vlogger tie-in that didn’t seem necessary actually was and added a bit of closure at the end of the book
* That Sarah and her husband were truly committed to one another and their family
* That the story was believable, drew me in, made me care, and had me hoping for the best for more than one character in the story.
What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that the evil that occurred in this story happens in real life more often than it should
Did I like this story? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
