Book Synopsis
"Explosive! A knife-edged thriller that explores the true meaning of family, including love, loyalty, and lies." --Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
"They found the bodies on a Tuesday." So begins Every Last Fear, a twisty and breathtaking novel from Alex Finlay that traces the fate of the Pine family, a thriller that will both leave you on the edge of your seat and move you to tears. After a late night of partying, NYU student Matt Pine returns to his dorm room to devastating news: nearly his entire family--his mom, his dad, his little brother and sister--have been found dead from an apparent gas leak while vacationing in Mexico. The local police claim it was an accident, but the FBI and State Department seem far less certain--and they won't tell Matt why. The tragedy makes headlines everywhere because this isn't the first time the Pine family has been thrust into the media spotlight. Matt's older brother, Danny--currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his teenage girlfriend Charlotte--was the subject of a viral true crime documentary suggesting that Danny was wrongfully convicted. Though the country has rallied behind Danny, Matt holds a secret about his brother that he's never told anyone: the night Charlotte was killed Matt saw something that makes him believe his brother is guilty of the crime. When Matt returns to his small hometown to bury his parents and siblings, he's faced with a hostile community that was villainized by the documentary, a frenzied media, and memories he'd hoped to leave behind forever. Now, as the deaths in Mexico appear increasingly suspicious and connected to Danny's case, Matt must unearth the truth behind the crime that sent his brother to prison--putting his own life in peril--and forcing him to confront his every last fear. Told through multiple points-of-view and alternating between past and present, Alex Finlay's Every Last Fear is not only a page-turning thriller, it's also a poignant story about a family managing heartbreak and tragedy, and living through a fame they never wanted.Review Quotes

It took me a while to get around to even looking at this book for some reason. Maybe it's because it was somewhat hyped before publication but then everyone stopped talking about it. Maybe it's because though the early reviews were promising, I lost interest while waiting for it. Whatever the reason, I am now reviewing it 2 1/2 months after its release date. This book is pretty fast-paced and is told from multiple points of view. The characters themselves are likable enough and it appears that all questions are answered in the end. There are some influences from real life cases in the plot line that you can easily spot if you are a true crime fan. There could have been more from some of the characters (for instance their backstory, thoughts, view points), but other than that it is okay.
Twisty, intense, riveting and entertaining thriller

Every Last Fear starts with a bang when New York University film student Matt Pine receives the devastating news that his family has died from a gas leak in their vacation rental in Mexico. All are gone, except for his older brother Danny, who is in prison for the murder of his girlfriend, a crime which his parents and sister believe he did not commit. A Netflix true crime documentary has been made about Danny which proclaimed his innocence and resulted in a media spotlight on the family. Matt soon learns that the FBI has doubts that the death of his family is accidental, but they are clearly holding back information. Faced with suspicions about the tragedy in Mexico, Matt sets out to retrieve the bodies of his family and find answers about what happened. The story is told from multiple points of view, alternating between past and present, to provide the complex backstory of the Pine family. The characters are interesting, especially Matt's NYU friends and FBI Agent Sarah Keller, who battles misogyny while cleverly trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The story is intense, riveting and fast-paced, with unexpected twists and turns. Compulsive and addictive, Every Last Fear will have you staying up all night. #EveryLastFear #MinotaurBooks

Matt Pine receives word that his family has been found dead in Mexico. The Mexican Authorities have deemed it an accident. The FBI and State Department have their suspicions. All the remains of their family are his older brother who is in prison and himself. The Pine family is well known. Danny, Matt's older brother is serving time for killing his high school girlfriend, Charlotte. Everyone believes that he is innocent. He was convicted with no evidence and an obvious coerced confession. The Pine family was featured in a documentary and everyone knows the family and believes in Danny's innocence. Reeling from his family's deaths, Matt is "welcomed" back to his hometown but hostile individuals who want to keep the past in the past. There he learns that there is more to his family's death than meets the eye. Plus, strange things have been happening around him. Could he be next? Did his family die without incident or were they murdered? Who would have a reason to kill them? Is Charlotte and his family's death related? If so, how? This was a very smart thriller with a nice amount of twists and turns along the way. I really enjoyed how the author kept giving clues, giving some answers and yet also bringing up more questions. I really enjoyed the ride and even though I figured out the killer mid-way though, it did not affect my enjoyment of the book. I found this to be a well written captivating thriller. The pacing was spot on. Nothing in this book felt rushed or drawn out. Most of the characters are likeable and had me wondering what I would do if I were in their shoes. This was told through various POV and with two timelines. Riveting, smart and well written.
