What We Buried

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.

Daniel Kennicott is trying to figure out what happened to his family and why. His parents are killed in a car crash that he doesn't believe is an accident and his brother is murdered in what “could” have been a random event. But all of that was 10 years ago and it's now considered a cold case. Daniel was a lawyer, but is not a detective for the police force, hoping to help other people who have to go through what he did, as well as still be able to look into what happened.

He knows it has something to do with Italy and so, he heads there to find answers. Meanwhile his boss and a whole team of people are trying to look at everything with fresh eyes.

This was a fascinating book with a lot of information I had never heard before in a historical fiction novel. It gave me an insight into parts of Canadian history in particular that I knew nothing about. I thought it was well written and the characters were well developed. I had never heard of this author before, but I will definitely look for more from him and I have a feeling there may be a second book with these characters. If there is, I would be interested in reading that too.
