This action-packed psychological thriller from Alex Finlay had me gripped from the very beginning ("They found the bodies on a Tuesday") and did not let go until the very end.
Centering around the Pine family, who have already faced their share of tragedy as their oldest son is serving a life sentence for a crime the family is determined he did not commit. Following a viral true-crime documentary that puts the spotlight on the family, most of the family heads to Mexico for a getaway, leaving college student Matt behind--and he quickly becomes the only surviving member of the family, with the FBI looking into the suspicious deaths of his mother, father, sister and brother.
While some thrillers need to lead up to the drama, this one jumps right in--in a very big way. You immediately get the sense that things are not what they seem for poor Matt and the author does a great job shifting narrators and timelines to give you a more complete picture of the events both leading up to the families trip through 'whodunit.'
I truly enjoyed the characters, from the fearless FBI agent Keller, the flawed father Evan and the fierce sister Maggie--hell even Matt's college friends sounded like a nice tribe to be surrounded by. I found myself nearing the end and wondering how I hadn't figured out the true motive yet either, it surprised me a bit!
