•I really struggled with this one. There were way too many characters for me to keep track of, and I failed to connect with any of them or their plight. It‘s a bummer since I really like this author.
•I love Brittany Pressley; maybe additional narrators would‘ve helped, but maybe not.

Finlay‘s thrillers are a guaranteed fun time & this latest is no exception! Taking place over the titular weekend at Santa Clara University, four families are stood up by their freshman children. It may seem like kids being kids, but soon it‘s clear 5 students are missing. Newly relocated, Special Agent Keller is back & takes the lead (not sure why these aren‘t a series!). Secrets emerge & if I hadn‘t been packing, it would be a one-sitting read!

Five college students go missing the weekend their parents are in town. This was a quick easy read. The ending was a bit abrupt, but overall would recommend. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin‘s Press for the ARC.

Five students at an esteemed college go missing. Right after another students body is found. Natasha Belov's body was found in a cave. Everyone assumed she was caught in the cave and drowned when the tide came in. But could it have been murder and could the five students who have gone missing be responsible. And where are these students now.

'Parents Weekend' was an interesting thriller. At parents' dinner for a college event, five students never arrive and seemed to have disappeared. Initially, taking the case is Agent Keller. I liked her no-nonsense approach. There were multiple points of view within the story. Secrets were discovered in all the families as the investigation continued. Short chapters added to the suspense. The narrator handled all of the voices well. 4 stars.

My 2nd book by Finlay, I‘m learning his books are bingeable, fast reads, perfect for a free day. This takes place over a college‘s Parents Weekend, starting w/the disappearance of 5 freshman. While the twist &culprits were fairly obvious, I enjoyed the quick pace &sensationalist side stories.

I think the # of POVs &lack of character dev may be an issue for some, but if you are a Finlay fan or looking for a few hours of escape, you‘ll enjoy this.
