Synopsis – The Night Shift
How can one 12-hour night shift be so deadly?
I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me.
The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me.
But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase.
My immediate instincts told me something was wrong.
That’s when my ordeal began.
I just had to make it through the night shift.
A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

My Review
I have read other books written by this author that I enjoyed so I was happy to read this one. The premise is an interesting one, working alone overnight in a storage facility.
The book begins engaging enough and I was curious to see the way the plot would unfold. The main character made questionable decisions – which is typical of this genre. But in this case, I found that distracting from the story. I rolled my eyes many times reading this wondering why she would make the choices she made.
Overall, though, this is a quick, well written thriller. If you are a fan of this genre and are looking for a quick, engaging read then you should consider this one.
