Timely, Riveting and Masterful
"Every Last Fear" is an incredibly suspenseful, compelling, timely mystery. The Pine family was the subject of a hot Netflix documentary about the oldest son, allegedly wrongfully convicted of murdering his high school girlfriend. Anyone who's binged a streaming true crime series knows how easy it is for the story and the real life people to go viral. I can't imagine being this family, the subject of late night googling and "water cooler" gossip. All while living in, and ultimately fleeing from, a small town. Great plot set up.
The book is told from multiple parties' perspectives and from 2 time points. It was very successfully set up.
The characters are developed enough to give the reader some emotional investment, and the plot was both realistic AND compelling. Again, I loved the use of the Netflix documentary. The use of the small town trope was also masterful.
