What connects a massacre in a Blockbuster video store in 1999 with the murder of four teenagers fifteen 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... 'A terrific thriller, tautly written with compelling characters. I was totally hooked' PETER JAMES 'Wow, this is crime fiction at its best. Instantly immersive, pacy and propulsive, and full of surprises. Alex Finlay is the real deal, believe me' LEE CHILD

A solid 4 ⭐ read that I loved and was addicted to the whole time. I loved the plotline and the execution of it, it was intricately woven and was engaging. However the characters felt very two dimensional and the setup also felt a bit too nicely wrapped up. If this was a movie , it would have been an all-time favourite 5 ⭐ movie

4 1/2*. A very good thriller. I say predictable and unpredictable because many twists in the book are unpredictable but some are predictable, still the unexpected twists make this a thrilling journey. I cut 1/2* because the character development of the culprit(s) appeared rushed. But overall a great thriller, nowhere it felt stretched.
