Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the most enjoyable scenes are the interactions between Sarah and her supportive, funny, and casually out-of-shape husband, who’s also the stay-at-home dad of their twins. While she’s no-nonsense at work, she’s still learning how to be bold, take charge, and play the game when politics come into play. FBI Agent Sarah Keller is the breakout star in Every Last Fear. But perhaps the most interesting character is the one who’s not a member of the Pine family. The ensemble cast works well, each voice distinct and relatable with a perspective that moves the story along. There’s the obsessive father hell-bent on proving his son’s innocence the mother with a guilty conscience the teenage brainiac sister who will put the puzzle pieces together one by one. There’s his brother, Danny, the subject of a true-crime documentary that questions whether or not he actually murdered his high school girlfriend, for which he’s serving a life sentence. There’s Matt Pine, a likeable kid from a family that can’t shake an unfortunate past. ![]() It’s not an easy task to pull off, but Alex Finlay does it with page-turning suspense and genuine empathy for the characters at the center of this debut novel. ![]()
