If Something Happens to Me

"This is my 3rd book by Alex Finlay and he doesn't seem to ever disappoint! An absolute page turner that always kept my attention from the beginning to the very end. Great little twists here and there. 4 stars!"

"A very servicable thriller. It was a quick and easy read."

"Good and fast read!!"

"Really enjoyed this book! I got a little confused at the changeover to Part 2 - keeping track of so many names in addition to the twist, I got some mixed up. But it worked out and I really enjoyed the story, the narrators, and the ending! "

"This is a twisty and thrilling mystery book that will keep the pages turning long into the night. The story is told from multiple points of view in a dual timeline fashion. Since the chapters are short and the narrative shifts you a kept on the edge of your seat the entire time. The book centers on the disappearance of Allison five years earlier. She was with her boyfriend, Ryan Richardson, at “make-out point” when the door to the car was ripped open and Ryan was knocked out and yanked from the car. For years everyone believed that Ryan was lying about that night and a cloud of suspicion has followed him wherever he goes. Ryan has since changed his name and seems to be moving on with his life and is on a trip to Italy with his law school classmates when he is visited by the man who has only existed in his memories of that night. Around the same time, Allison’s car is recovered from the bottom of a local lake with two unidentified men inside. A young sheriff’s deputy named Poppy is working on the case despite the fact her boss, the sheriff, has relegated her to manning the tip line and avoiding the investigation. In true mystery/thriller fashion their paths cross and the stakes are high. I enjoyed how seamless this book was. Alex Finlay was able to jump around characters, time and the world in an effortless manner. The characters all had rich lives and secrets to uncover so there was never a section of the story that felt less than the others. This book definitely has summer beach read/ road trip vibes.<br/>I listened to the audiobook which features a multi-cast narration. Each of the readers delivered excellent performances complete with accents. I was able to get lost in the story thanks to the care they took with each of their parts. Thank you to MacMillan audio for the advanced listening of this book.<br/>"

"Short chapters, fast paced. 3 POVs with almost every chapter ending in a cliffhanger. Satisfying ending."

"Thank you to Netgalley for granting me this ARC for an honest review. I loved this one, lots of characters and trying to figure how they were all connected made the story so good. If you love suspense, this is the book for you."
