My first book by Alex Finlay and I loved it! Will try this author again for sure.

Honestly this is the kind of book that reminds me why I enjoy a good, easy to read thriller so much. It had everything, including a gripping start and ofc fab twists (that actually worked and made sense).

When I say I couldn't put this down, I mean whenever I HAD to I really really didn't want to 😆. This was a rare occasion where I could not figure out where the story was going at all.

I was impressed that, despite the many characters, it was easy to follow with good character development.

Suspend disbelief is necessary but it all worked so well.

Would recommend this book, especially if you're in a bit of a reading slump! Added bonus is the short chapters, which IMO always keep books moving at a faster pace.

Anticipated publication date: 28 May 2024.

In Kansas, a high school goes missing and her boyfriend is thought to be responsible, but then her car surfaces 5 years later in a nearby lake and she isn't in it. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, a couple's son is being bullied and the father wants revenge on the culprits. What is the connection?

4.5 stars.

Another good one from this author who is on my must read list. I didn't really like his last action packed read, but his first 2 books were outstanding and he got back into form with this one. I love the travel element, where they were in Rome, England, Paris, and the story was fast paced, I read it in a day. I love a book that I don't want to put down and that's what this was. Looking forward to his next offering.

I jumped at the chance of reading this, I'd enjoyed a previous book very much.
This one too now, it cements Finlay as an autobuy author for me.
It has some good twists and turns, and surprises right up to the last page.
Characters you could like, characters you definitely wouldn't like, and interesting connections throughout.
Perfectly paced, and just an entertaining, if slightly tense read.

I've been in a bit of a reading slump recently taking 3 or 4 days to get through a book which would generally take me a day - two at most.

Picking up this one, I was convinced this would be a read in one sitting novel and it definitely was. As soon as you are dragged into the premise, a missing girl whose car is discovered five years on with two dead bodies in it (but not hers) then the book never lets go. It's the very definition of a page turner and you will need to know how it ends as soon as you pick it up.

Highly recommended to all. Thanks to Netgalley and Head of Zeus, Aries for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

One of my most anticipated thriller of the year, this is what you call a pacy, edge-of-the-seat popcorn thriller. Checks every single box with perfectly developed characters and a brilliant premise and several cliffhangers to make the ride ever so entertaining!

Texas - Alison Lane gets abducted and no one knows what happened to her. Her boyfriend takes the blame.

Italy - Five years later, Ryan has now changed his name and is pursuing Law. His life is fine, protected by a high profile solicitor back in Texas, until a phone call from his dad changes everything.

Alison's car has been discovered but with two dead guys inside. Who are they and where is Alison?

With a new local sheriff trying to figure out the biggest puzzle of all time, If Anything Happens To Me is a pacy edge-of-the-seat suspense thriller that takes us from small-town Texas to Italy with twists thrown everywhere. There are several POVs and just when you think you've figured it out, you're in for so many action sequences.

Loved it and comes highly recommended.
