A thrilling page-turner that had me hooked from the very first line! Matt Pine’s life is rocked when his parents and younger siblings die under mysterious circumstances while vacationing in Tulum, Mexico. At the encouragement of FBI agent Sarah Keller, Matt, a film student living in New York, flies to Mexico to retrieve the bodies. As he begins to uncover the truth, he is quickly confronted by events of the past. His family was once the topic of a famous documentary after his older teenage brother falsely confessed to killing his high school girlfriend in their rural Nebraska hometown. Matt’s father and younger sister never gave up on learning the truth about what happened that night but it’s possible that the answers died with them. The story is told from the perspectives of different members of the Pine family (past and present) as well as FBI Agent Sarah Keller. The characters are highly likable and relatable, particularly the character of Maggie, Matt’s younger sister. Although I pegged the guilty party early on in the story, I still had fun unraveling the whys and hows. Overall, Every Last Fear is an excellent debut novel that successfully weaves together two riveting mysteries and covers a variety of timely topics, including false confessions and corruption. This is sure to be a hit for any mystery lover! Thank you to Minotaur and NetGalley for providing me with an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.
