Why read it?

1 author picked If Something Happens to Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Every novel of Alex Finlay's makes me think of Harlan Coben's mastery of the domestic, close to home, thriller dripping with heart and emotion. If Something Happens To Me takes you on a wild ride, where years after his girlfriend is kidnapped our protagonist Ryan sees the man responsible and is sucked right back into the depths of combined hope and despair. I loved the way the seemingly disparate plots came together, and Finlay absolutely nailed the ending. He is a firm must-buy for me and I'd strongly encourage any readers of this to do the same.
