About this listen

What connects a massacre in a Blockbuster video store in 1999 with the murder of four teenagers 15 years later?

It's New Year's Eve of 1999 when four teenagers working late are attacked at a Blockbuster video store in New Jersey. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.

Fifteen years later, four more teenagers are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.

In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre, who is forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who is convinced the police have the wrong suspect and FBI agent Sarah Keller, who must delve into the secrets of both nights to uncover the truth about the night-shift murders....

"Wow, this is crime fiction at its best. Instantly immersive, pacey and propulsive and full of surprises. Alex Finlay is the real deal, believe me." (Lee Child)

nice (word that popped into my head at the end)

Twists and turns, 1999 nostalgia, VCRs, :) not highly detailed but satisfying. Entertaining. More please.

Engaging story

overall I was engaged in the story but a bit thrown by the rushed way things came together at the end.
Was a little saddened with the outcome though the epilogue tried to lighten things somewhat.

Twisty plot

I enjoyed listening to this book on a long drive. It was deep enough to have a few twists, but not too complicated to follow. I would listen to other books by this author.
