This was an amazing thriller that opens with a great tease and twists its way to a conclusion that, while perhaps not so surprising, brings the well-written narrative to a satisfying closure.
Told in snippets of before and after through alternating points of view, this book has an unusual style that keeps you hooked to the pages making it almost impossible to put down. The premise -- four members of the family that has protested the murder conviction of their oldest son, Danny Pine, end up dead in Tulum, Mexico. Since Danny is in Fishkill Correctional, the news of their deaths is taken to the only other survivor, NYU student Matt Pine, by FBI Special Agent Sarah Keller. It turns out that, after all, the deaths were no accident and all the hubbub with the media starts again. Why was the Pine family killed in Mexico and what possible secret were they about to uncover? Why is the FBI involved? The Pine family has spent so much time trying to uncover the truth of the murder that put their Danny in prison and a true crime documentary points to the possibility that someone else was behind the crime. Matt needs to finish this crusade.
There is so much going on in this novel and I don't want to spoil it for any future reader, so I'll just urge you to pick this up and enjoy the incredible story. There were so many great characters to love or hate! A debut written under a pseudonym, this work is quite well-written and there is so much going on in a very complicated plot. I think it would make a fantastic miniseries adaptation and would love to see it brought to life.
