A family hit with tragedy; a young son, Danny, imprisoned for many years for a murder he claims he didn’t commit. A family devastated and the father devoting his life to finding out answers for he knows his son is innocent. Many parents might think their child incapable of an appalling crime as in this case, the young pregnant girl’s face was smashed in and she was found in a horrific state.
The mother wounded by the hateful looks, telephone messages, and social media, that has torn not only her son apart but the family as well.
Maggie, a daughter, a high school senior on the road to much success, but harmed by the innuendo and hatred that has been directed to her family.
A young son, Tommy, caught up in the devastation of a broken-hearted family that longs for all their children to be safe and happy.
Now, there is a crime documentary that has stirred up questions giving the family hope, but is it a false hope? Can it be that what the family wants so desperately might be within their grasp?
Another son, Matt, a college student at NYU, has a dark secret, one that he just can’t share with his family as close as they try to be. Then devastating news hits, and the family that was in turmoil turn up dead of a supposed gas leak, Mother, Father, Sister, and Brother gone on vacation in Mexico have perished in what seems to be a tragic accident. Nonetheless, finding out the reason for their trip to Mexico looks to be one of tracking down another possible clue to the killing of Charlotte. Poor Matt sees a world where most of his family are gone, a world where fate has played an awful game. Of course, the media and the community are frenetic, making Matt’s return to bury his family a circus, rabid groups looking for a story and gossip.
There is much afoot in this well-done suspense story that contains some twists that will surprise the reader as well, as the various forces of evil and duplicitousness that like a bike heading downhill picks up speed and debris along the way. The story is told in alternating points of view as well as flipping back between the present and the past. It’s a sad tale about the destruction of a family and their belief that their oldest son is not guilty.
Will Matt survive the onslaught and will Danny be ultimately proven to be innocent is the focus in the page turning book by Alex Findlay due out March 2, 2021. Definitely a book recommended by this reader!
and here’s the author:
Alex Finlay is the pseudonym of an author who lives in Washington, D.C. Born in the American South, Alex spent years traversing the globe, from a tropical island in the Pacific to a small village in the UK to a remote region in the Far East. But it was on a trip to Tulum, Mexico that Alex was inspired to write Every Last Fear.
This one sounds fascinating- so much drama in one family!
