Review: What Have We Done by Alex Finlay

 

In this “top-notch mystery thriller” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from Alex Finlay, What Have We Done is a tale about the lives we leave behind and the secrets we carry with us forever.

A stay-at-home mom with a past.
A has-been rock star with a habit.
A reality TV producer with a debt.
Three disparate lives.
One deadly secret.

Twenty five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, having forged a bond through the abuse and neglect they endured as residents of Savior House, a group home for parentless teens. When the home was shut down―after the disappearance of several kids―the three were split up.

Though the trauma of their childhood has never left them, each went on to live accomplished―if troubled―lives. They haven’t seen one another since they were teens but now are reunited for a single haunting reason: someone is trying to kill them.

To survive, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their shared past―a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead.

It’s a reunion none of them asked for . . . or wanted. But it may be the only way to save all their lives.

What Have We Done is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and a gut-wrenching coming-of-age story. And it cements Alex Finlay as one of the new leading voices in thrillers today.

My Review

What Have We Done by Alex Finlay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I sat down to start reading this and before I knew it I was almost halfway through. I hated having to put it down. This was a page-turner for me and even better I had no idea who the bad guy was until the very end.

Twenty-five years ago a group of kids formed a friendship after ending up in a group home. Life there was not easy, some kids were severely bullied, and some went missing.

One night the group decide to take matters into their own hands and get rid of someone directly involved in their neglect. After the home closed, they were separated into new living situations and eventually lost touch.

Now someone is trying to eliminate everyone that was present the night that deadly night. Each returning to the one place they never thought they would. The group home is now abandoned but the son of the corrupt family that ran the group home is still around and maybe he's the one targeting them.

They'll work together to find out who is targeting them and who's responsible for the death of one of their own.

Thank you so much to the author and Minotaur for this ARC to review.
