What connects a massacre at a Blockbuster video store in 1999 with the murder of four teenagers fifteen years later?
It's New Year's Eve of 1999 when four teenagers working late are attacked at a Blockbuster video store in New Jersey. Only one survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.
Fifteen years later, four more teenagers are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.
In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre, who is forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who is convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller, who must delve into the secrets of both nights to uncover the truth about the Night Shift Murders...
'A terrific thriller, tautly written with compelling characters. I was totally hooked' Peter James
'Every line counts in this cunning cat's cradle of a thriller. Alex Finlay has the knack of combining forward motion with powerful emotion' The Times
'Wow, this is crime fiction at its best... Alex Finlay is the real deal, believe me' Lee Child
'Finlay is all set to take on big boys Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben. Great' The Sun
'The Night Shift will grab you and not let go until the final, electrifying conclusion' Julie Clark
'An exciting, entertaining read that I couldn't put down!' Samantha Downing
'The Night Shift is one not to miss. Highly recommended' Brendan DuBois

I read the book within a few nights and it was hard to put it down. The story lets you guess but takes unexpected twists. It has a satisfying end so it's absolutely worth reading till the end.
A story with a deja vu

Two crimes in one book with striking parallels to the real case in Austin, Texas, in 1991. Four teenage girls were murdered in a Yogurt Shop Store. I have never come across a fictional book that connects to a true crime case. I was curious about how the author built the story and how much of it was based on true events. I hoped that it wouldn’t be just a copy with some thrown-in ideas.
The plot is surprisingly well created and, to my satisfaction, uses the true events as a baseline. The story can definitely stand on its own and can be read by anyone. Compared to the imaginative and captivating plot, the book lags a bit with the characters. Maybe it is because of the similar names that appear or too many protagonists in total, something was off. I still give this book a rating of 4 because I liked how the author created this fictional story around a true crime case.
