Alex Finlay\u2019s Parents Weekend was one is his typical writing style. It was a thrilling ride that I couldn\u2019t put down. I read this one in one sitting because I just couldn\u2019t put it down and I was lucky it was a Saturday and I didn\u2019t have to! I think this is going to be a popular mystery\/thriller this summer because it\u2019s a light, easy mystery.<\/p>\n

This one does have a larger cast of characters because this one centers on the 5 kids (or young adults) that go missing. I think the reason I was able to keep everyone straight is because I read this one so quickly and had them all fresh in my mind. If you slow read books, you may need to keep the character list handy. I grabbed this from a friend\u2019s page:<\/p>\n

he Roosevelts (Divorced parents: mother works in the State Department, father is a teacher and former writer, son Blaine was abducted as a child),
The Maldonados (David, a doctor with marital issues, and Nina, his fuming wife, have a daughter Stella with a rebellious streak),
The Goffmans (Alice, a divorced school administrator, is raising her bullied, introverted son Felix alone),
The Akanas (Ken, a Superior Court judge known for convicting a movie star, and Amy, his grieving wife, mourn the loss of their youngest son while raising their model daughter, Libby),
Mark Wong (Best friend of Blaine, with a troubled family background).<\/p>\n

And of course we see Agent Sarah Keller return in this one. She had recently made a move to help care for her husband\u2019s father. I did like their little bits of the story as well. <\/p>\n

This is told in multiple points of view and it\u2019s told in the past and present so the story comes together nicely. There were a few twists and I can\u2019t say that it was totally predictable, but some things were a bit predictable, but sometimes I wonder if that is because of how many mysteries I have read. I liked that this one was easy to read and just a little mystery that wasn\u2019t too dark. I would say this is an entertaining mystery and it was just what I needed at the time.<\/p>\n

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. This book is scheduled to release May 6, 2025.<\/p>\n
