This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2021 and it did not disappoint!

Danny Pine has been in jail for seven years so far, serving a life sentence for murdering his girlfriend, Charlotte after a highschool party one night. The Supreme Court just denied Danny's appeal, but his family will not give up their fight to prove his innocence. Backing them are the armchair detectives that have been following the case with a close eye ever since the show 'A Violent Nature' decided to feature Danny's story in their latest season, shedding light on the ineptitude of the Nebraska interrogators, the likely false confession, and the evidence pointing to a serial killer based in Kansas.

After the crushing blow of the ruling from the Supreme Court, the Pine family - minus Danny and their son Matt who is in college - decides to go to Tulum, Mexico on a last minute, spring break getaway. But while in Mexico, there is an apparent gas leak in the Pine's rental home and all four of the Pines tragically die.

Agent Sarah Keller is tenacious and possesses a cop's "intuition" and something about the Pine family deaths sits wrong for her. Worried their deaths are connected to a larger scheme possibly tied to Danny's conviction or even to the mafia financial fraud claim she's investigating for the FBI, Keller refuses to ignore her hunch.

What unfolds is a gripping police procedural into what really happened the night Charlotte was murdered, a closer look at the death of the Pine family, and the story of a young man trying to make sense of it all in the wake of losing everyone he's ever loved.

This book has it all - a complex police procedural, snippets from the show 'A Violent Nature,' alternating timelines, and various points of view. Small "whoa" moments were scattered throughout the book, keeping me on edge and helping me to flip the pages faster and faster.

Every Last Fear is an impressive debut. It takes on many aspects of thriller novels we've all come to expect and love with mastery and skill. I particularly liked that though it was a far-fetched situation in and of itself, no one twist felt unrealistic or out of nowhere. Breadcrumbs were left for the most experienced reader but there were still surprises and "wow" moments that are sure to impress.

This is a book that cannot be missed. erving a life sentence for murdering his girlfriend, Charlotte after a highschool party one night.
