One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021:
In one of the year's most anticipated debut psychological thrillers, a family made infamous by a true crime documentary is found dead, leaving their surviving son to uncover the truth about their final days.
"They found the bodies on a Tuesday." So begins this twisty and breathtaking novel that traces the fate of the Pine family, a thriller that will both leave you on the edge of your seat and move you to tears.
After a late night of partying, NYU student Matt Pine returns to his dorm room to devastating news: nearly his entire family—his mom, his dad, his little brother and sister—have been found dead from an apparent gas leak while vacationing in Mexico. The local police claim it was an accident, but the FBI and State Department seem far less certain—and they won't tell Matt why.
The tragedy makes headlines everywhere because this isn't the first time the Pine family has been thrust into the media spotlight. Matt's older brother, Danny—currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his teenage girlfriend Charlotte—was the subject of a viral true crime documentary suggesting that Danny was wrongfully convicted. Though the country has rallied behind Danny, Matt holds a secret about his brother that he's never told anyone: the night Charlotte was killed Matt saw something that makes him believe his brother is guilty of the crime.
When Matt returns to his small hometown to bury his parents and siblings, he's faced with a hostile community that was villainized by the documentary, a frenzied media, and memories he'd hoped to leave behind forever. Now, as the deaths in Mexico appear increasingly suspicious and connected to Danny's case, Matt must unearth the truth behind the crime that sent his brother to prison—putting his own life in peril—and forcing him to confront his every last fear.
Told through multiple points-of-view and alternating between past and present, Alex Finlay's Every Last Fear is not only a gripping thriller, it's also a poignant story about a family managing heartbreak and tragedy, and living through a fame they never wanted.

January 25, 2021
In the pseudonymous Finlay’s solid debut, NYU student Matt Pine learns that his parents, Evan and Olivia, and younger siblings, 17-year-old Maggie and six-year-old Tommy, died while vacationing in Tulum, Mexico. The Pines’ oldest son, Danny, is seven years into a life sentence for murdering his pregnant high school girlfriend—a controversial conviction that was the subject of a TV documentary—so Matt must travel solo to claim the bodies. Local authorities believe the family succumbed to a gas leak, but FBI agent Sarah Keller has doubts. Not only was the recently fired Evan’s former employer laundering money for a Mexican cartel, but evidence suggests the Pines were chasing a lead that could exonerate Danny. When a series of near misses suggest Matt is also in danger, Sarah redoubles her efforts to uncover the truth. Though elements of the plot strain credulity and the denouement feels formulaic, Finlay imparts nuance via a prismatic narrative that jumps back and forth in time, examining both tragedies from multiple angles. Those who favor character-driven crime novels will find much to admire. Agent: Lisa Erbach Vance, Aaron Priest Literary.

July 1, 2021
When Matt Pine's parents and two younger siblings are found dead at their vacation rental in Mexico, apparently killed by a gas leak, it doesn't take long for Matt to figure out that something isn't adding up. The police are cagey about releasing the bodies to Matt, and someone tries to push him into traffic. It's not the first time Matt's family has been in the news; his older brother Danny is in prison for the murder of his girlfriend, Charlotte, when they were in high school; a recent documentary argued that Danny had been wrongfully convicted. Matt finds out that his father and sister had been chasing a new lead in Charlotte's case when they were killed, so he picks up where they left off, even though he has reason to believe Danny is guilty. Written from multiple perspectives and jumping in time between the present, the night of Charlotte's murder, and the days leading up to the Pine family's deaths, Finlay's debut is a twisty puzzle that will please fans of thrillers, suspense, and true crime. Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom capably voice a large cast of characters and keep ratcheting up the tension. VERDICT Recommended for public library collections.--Stephanie Klose, Library Journal

- content: This tense thriller focuses on the Pines, a family of six who have one son in prison for a brutal killing. Narrators Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom alternate the storytelling, with McClain voicing an agent who is investigating a crime that might be connected to the incarcerated son. Lindstrom focuses on Matthew, a son in film school who is wrestling with his family's plight. The narration team works well as the duo varies tone for the family, Matthew's friends, and others who move in and out of their lives, for better or worse. Matthew is given a brooding tone that works well for the character. The story alternates timeframes, but its structure and narration make the timelines clear. McClain and Lindstrom capture the tense moments, ratcheting up the emotion as the story winds to its conclusion. M.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
