What Have We Done

I just finished What have we done by Alex Finlay and here are my views.

The trauma of that children's home is still heavily ingrained on Donny, Jenna and Nico even after all these years. The wounds are brought back to the surface as they find out that Benny, another foster kid in the same home, is now dead.

25 years ago, children from the home disappeared and were never seen again. After the home closed, the teens were all relocated and lost touch. Something bound them all together. One shared secret.... Something so awful that they agreed never to speak of it again.

It's not just the funeral that brings them together but the fact that someone has tried to kill each of them too and at this point, there is safety in numbers.... Right?

This book was actually well written and the plot was clever in its complexity. This book made the number one mistake I have with thrillers.... Too many POVs. I understand why the author felt this was necessary but I find it muddles the storyline when you have to check who's POV you are on and with a shifting timeline. It was messy. A couple less POVs would have been better for me.

I did enjoy the twists, they were quite brilliant. I even think there was room for the author to take it a little darker than they did but all in all I found it was quite a good read. Easy lucid language and it was well developed. Definitely kept me entertained.

3.5 stars! Don't let the star rating put you off, I'm just not a fan of multiple points of view but for people who are.... It's dynamite!
