About this listen

From the author of the breakout thriller Every Last Fear, comes Alex Finlay's electrifying next audiobook The Night Shift, about a pair of small-town murders 15 years apart - and the ties that bind them.

“The night was expected to bring tragedy.” So begins one of the most highly-anticipated thrillers in recent years.

It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.

Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.

In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who’s convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights - stirring up memories of teen love and lies - to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift.

Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.

Meh..

Sometimes, I found my mind wandering rather than paying attention to what was going on. Overall, decent listen. Not the best, certainly not the worst. At times you're thinking "omg! what next" and other times you aren't even paying attention.

Beginning is good..then drags

I originally heard the beginning on my friends audible and never finished it. The beginning was so good that I always kept it on my list to finish. Unfortunately the story becomes very convoluted with random characters. The story really starts to drag and I only finished it because of the beginning. Things come out of leftfield, and for me it almost felt as though the author just threw the ending together.

1999, Blockbuster...

Fast Paced, entertaining, twisty and murders; everything you could desire in a thriller plot!
A few storylines happening in this one all evolving around a New Jersey town shaken by teen murders working night shifts nearly 15 years apart. 2 Survivors brought together to help solve a cold case and finally bring justice to the town families. such a great read!

Worth a listen

It’s a good story that lags a bit here and there. Some of the performance is a bit much, especially near the end with the FBI agent. The character progression is ok and there’s a sad bit that you may or may not be expecting.

Disappointing

This book had me going but there were so many side stories and unrealistic details it became frustrating.
