Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML: From the author of the breakout thriller Every Last Fear, comes Alex Finlay's electrifying next audiobook The Night Shift, about a pair of small-town murders fifteen years apart�??and the ties that bind them. "The night was expected to bring tragedy." So begins one of the most highly-anticipated thrillers in recent years. It's New Year's Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. 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, more teenage employees 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's forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who's convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights�??stirring up memories of teen love and lies�??to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift. Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Minotaur Books and the author for allowing me to read an advanced reader copy of this book. The book published on March 1, 2022.
The story starts out with Ella, Candy, Katie and Mandy as they are all closing up the Blockbuster on New Year’s Eve 1999 with their manager, Steve. Ella is the only survivor of a brutal attack that night. Fifteen years later, she receives a phone call from someone in her past asking her to go to the hospital to talk to another victim – this time Jesse is the only survivor of a very similar attack on a local business.
An arrest was made in the 1999 attack; but he was released on a technicality and virtually disappeared. Did he come back 15 years later and, if so, what is the connection between the two events? Told in multiple points of view, we have Ella, now a therapist and dealing with her own demons from the 1999 attack, FBI Agent Keller, who is pregnant with twins and teams up with Atticus to investigate, Chris, an attorney, who is connected to the attacker, and was adopted and given a new name.
I had figured out one aspect of the story relatively early and easily but wanted to see how it all played out. Overall, I thought it was well-written and will read his other books. The ending was dramatic…and the Epilogue could have been a bit more descriptive. (

A decent enough binge-read of an FBI thriller that’s got some eye-rolling convoluted plot points but it’ll tide you over until you can get a better mystery in your hands. The whole thing read like one very drawn out episode of “Criminal Minds” or a wannabe Riley Sager novel, just with less fleshed-out characters. Also, it does the whole James Patterson thing where the chapters are all very short (sometimes only 2 pages) and each one lands on a punchy kind of line or fact being dropped, which is just a deeply lazy way of writing imho.
Still, I kept flipping page after page of those short little chapters to find out what happened, so it was at least entertaining enough to see through to the end! (

Run of the mill easy read chick crime fic. I had fun reading it, but it was a paint by the numbers thriller. You might hang it over your washing machine in the basement for kitsch, but it's sure not hanging where anyone else can see it. (

I really enjoyed this book! Great thriller. I was surprised I didn't get lost in the characters, but the author did a great job of being clear and concise who he was talking about. SPOILER: I didn't see the killer being the principal, so I was impressed with that. I also didn't see Vince being murdered either. Great twists and really enjoyed the ride! I listened to this in about 2 days, very quick. I was sucked in! I gave it four stars because it's great, but in a few months, I probably wouldn't remember it. (
