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! 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. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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. ( )
