What Have We Done by Alex Finlay
3.0
3.5 Stars
I’m at an impasse as to how to really feel about this book.
At times, it was a compelling mystery, the chapters short, spurring fast progress, making one want to know what would come next. Other times, I was impatient as the narrative jumps back and forth from past to present between three main characters tied by their teen years at a foster home that was anything but kind and nurturing. Old friends are dying and/or getting hurt, and someone is getting too close to the truth of that long ago fateful night.
There was also a fantastical element that was a bit incongruous to cold hard reality, where I wanted to follow that particular background and storyline more than the main plot. As a side note, I wholeheartedly beseech Finlay to give us a prequel telling all on Jenna's mysterious history.
Overall, I enjoyed this easy suspenseful mystery and am reassured that Finlay will consistently continue to deliver!
