A review by jenalee
The Orphans of Race Point by Patry Francis

3.0

I started out loving this book. I fell in love with the characters, the setting of Race Point, the writing style, and the story of Hallie, Gus, and Nick. However, when it made the shift to a murder mystery and new characters were introduced, it became so unbelievable that I began to lose interest. I admit it was a surprise ending, but not in a good way. There were too many characters by that point, some of them completely underdeveloped, which left me wondering who these characters really were, why they did what they did, and why I should care. I really wanted to love this book, but it was just so farfetched at the end, it ruined it for me.
