First of all, I must start with the fact that this book had one of the most intriguing synopses I’ve ever read. I was hooked just from that – and it’s been enough to do everything I could to get my hands on a copy of this book (and I still only ended up with a digital one!).
Even still, the synopsis did not disappoint. This book was as captivating as I had hoped it would be and I ended up finishing it in two days (seriously, why do I have to keep going to work??). I cannot wait for more books from Alex Finlay. I loved this one and I cannot stop thinking about it. This will require a re-read from me in the near future.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙧 alternates between narrators and time: Matt in the “now”, and his family in the “then”. Matt’s older brother is in prison for a crime he did not commit – but Matt doesn’t believe him. Yet the rest of his family does, and they’ve made it their mission to prove his innocence and get him released from jail.
Their latest attempt has brought the entire family (sans Matt) to Mexico in search of a clue, but the answers they discover are far more intricate than they could ever have expected.
In the now, Matt is struggling with a documentary that has come out about his brother, who has spent the past seven years serving time. But now, on top of this, the rest of his family has died while on vacation in Mexico due to a freak gas leak. Or is it? There’s a chance the scene was staged and his entire family may have been killed – but who would want his family dead? And why is someone – or multiple someones – after Matt now? Can he find the truth before he winds up dead, too?
