PRAISE
“EVERY LAST FEAR is a hugely ambitious novel that satisfies on so many different levels. It’s a riveting mystery, a propulsive thriller, and a moving portrait of a family torn apart, and brought together, by tragedy.”
—LOU BERNEY, Edgar award-winning author of November Road
"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."
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“I loved EVERY LAST FEAR. What elevates this thriller are the characters: real, flawed, heroic, driven. What would you do if someone you loved was convicted of a crime you were certain they didn’t commit? You won’t be able to put down this fast-moving, thoroughly compelling story until the very last page. A winner.”
