Pairs well with: English breakfast tea
I really enjoyed this story, although I feel like every thriller I’ve read lately takes place in the UK? This was an interesting twist on your typical old town with a secret Thriller. It gets a little dark so if you’re looking for a light beach read thriller this isn’t for you, it leans into Verity territory (probably why I enjoyed it so much, tbh.)
Final Cut follows Alex, a filmmaker, who gets a tip to travel to a small town in Northern England as the focus of her new documentary. The people in town are hesitant to speak to her and all seem to have their own secrets to keep. The purpose of the documentary is to showcase the ‘everyday life’ in Blackwood Bay but Alex quickly gets caught up in the mystery of three missing girls. The twists continue as Alex starts having memories come to her and think she’s been to the town before.
