Synopsis:
Ryan was part of a horrible event five years ago and when things calm down, he relives it. His girlfriend Ali was violently taken from the car they were sitting in together.
Ryan was the prime suspect in her disappearance but was never charged. He’s tried to move on, but he’s been unsuccessful.
When he’s on a college trip abroad in Italy, he gets a call from his father, Ali’s car has been found submerged in the lake in his hometown. Inside are two dead men, and a cryptic note from Ali.
Then, in a twist of fate, Ryan sees the man he saw that night, all the way in Tuscany. This sets forth a cat and mouse chase across the UK as Ryan tries to figure out what really happened to Ali all those years ago.
Thoughts:
This was such a fun thriller! I loved the premise so much because it was within the realm of probability that sometimes gets lost in thrillers. Alex Finley always manages to weave a tale that is propulsive and twisty, and this one was no different. The setting of Tuscany was idyllic and just lovely, and the flash back chapters also painted a wonderful atmosphere. This is one of those books that is perfect to dive into with a clean slate, I don’t do this often because I am not a patient person, but in the case of Alex Finley I always make an exception because it is always worth it. I was very engaged in this story from the start to the ending, which I was blown away with.
If you are looking for a truly engaging and layered thriller, then you need to read this one!
