Reviews with content warning for Murder - The Night Shift

I’m not a big thriller person, though I think my library’s simply shelved this one as a mystery. Either way, this is outside my standard genres, but I enjoyed it overall.

The audiobook was really, really good—especially Chris and Ella’s narrators

I predicted a couple of the twists but was surprised by a couple others, which is a good mix.

The Chad Parke storyline…. I think the book would’ve been better without it. It was pointless, imo.

Overall, pretty solid I thought.

3.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ I enjoyed the story and the concept of this book. This book was good, but it was also becoming a chore to read. I know this is considered a “true crime” book but I feel like it dragged out longer than it should.

This was great read and very enjoyable. The only problem was that I guessed the ending very early on in the book. However I didn't have the full how's and whys so even though I knew who the murderer was, there was enough missing pieces to continue being intriguing.

Although I am not a pregnant woman, I am not fully convinced that Agent Keller could have done all the things she did at 8 months pregnant with twins but I'm not an expert on the matter.

I wasn’t completely blown away by this mystery/suspense. I feel like the villain could’ve been explored in more depth and that some of the side characters felt unnecessary to the story (like Rusty’s whole arrest). I did enjoy the multiple POV’s and the flashback chapter towards the end. I would’ve enjoyed a little more of the story from Jessie’s POV, but I liked how some of her side was portrayed between Ella and Sarah.
