The Night Shift Author:Alex Finlay 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 Linden, New Jersey, four teenage girls working the night shift are attacked. Only one survives. Police quickly identif... more »y a suspect who flees and is never seen again.
Fifteen years later, in the same town, four teenage employees working late at an ice cream store are attacked, and again only one makes it out alive.
Both surviving victims recall the killer speaking only a few final words. . . . “Goodnight, pretty girl.”
In the aftermath, three lives intersect: the survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced to relive her tragedy; the brother of the original suspect, who’s convinced the police have it wrong; and the FBI agent, who’s determined to solve both cases. On a collision course toward the truth, all three lives will forever be changed, and not everyone will make it out alive.
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.« less
The first book in this series was good, but this one was even better. Quick read with short chapters. Bob is my favorite character. I'd like to see more of Bob going forward.
This is just a ho hum book, it started out fairly good and kept my interest for a while---then---it just started repeating everything over and over and the story wasn't going anywhere
Most of the characters I didn't care for at all and what FBI agent would be 'out in the field' when she's 8 months pregnant? that was so stupid it was hard to even imagine that happened
The story has too many POV to keep up with and then it flips back to 1999 and then you have the mysterious 'traveler' and it just got too far fetched, slow, draggy and lost my interest
I really enjoyed this! The nostalgia in the beginning pulled me right in. Scary, murderous and creepy from the start. I did guess the murderer but it held some surprises and (possible slight spoiler) not everyone makes it out alive! I was rooting for some of these characters and not everyone got the happy ending. However I was pleased with the end. Just a fun and scary thriller!
