amid solving the latest crime, three strangers cross paths - the survivor from the blockbuster attack, the brother of the accused suspect, and fbi agent, sarah keller. how & why do their lives connect? will they be able to get to the bottom of this mystery?

this book was really good! i loved the short chapters & how fast paced it was. it was entertaining & very attention grabbing early on in the book!
it was interesting to see how the dynamic of the connection of the three main characters unfolded. i also liked the parallels between the timeline in 1999 & present day
i did not see this ending coming, which i really enjoyed! i am pretty good at guessing the plots of mystery/thrillers, so sometimes they fall short for me in that way. this one did not!
this was my first book iโve read by alex finlay. i have a couple of other books of his on my tbr & iโm excited to read them eventually
