What Have We Done

Finlay (The Night Shift) has mastered the thriller genre with this novel. Following four adults who once lived together 25 years ago in an abusive group home called Savior House, the story unfolds as Donnie, Jenna, Nico, and Artemis each undergo a near-death experience. Someone is trying to kill each of them, so they reunite in hopes they can find out who is responsible and eventually stop them. In order to do so, they must all revisit their secret pasts. Finlay superbly creates a character-driven coming-of-age tale that is full of twists. All the characters come from troubled backgrounds, and it’s clear that even though they have lived decent and somewhat successful lives as adults, they have experienced trauma from their childhood that has never been resolved. As each character deals with their own issues and seeks to determine who is trying to kill them, they learn and grow from the experience.
