◘ I did have to pay attention to timelines because out of nowhere, I was like oh shit we are in the past, let me go back and start over. ◘ The detective character is 8 months pregnant with twins and traipsing around town trying to solve a murder. ◘ I particularly liked Ella’s storyline and POV best. I’m excited to read more from Finlay.◘ Loved the Blockbuster and 90’s flashbacks.

In fact, the ending was most satisfactory! The book was good.

I am very satisfied that Finlay did NOT go the route of involving The Corporation with the overtired story of trying to kill their own (former) employee. The journey getting there is what I enjoy. That’s ok-I don’t have to have a surprise ending with every book. There were plenty of red herrings in this book, but they were easy to spot. However, soon it was quite clear who this character was. The way Finlay described “the boy with the soft heart” without using a name was very gripping. The opening scene of the book was very interesting and had my attention. The stories told from life at Savior House were vague and didn’t allow me, as a reader, to connect to the depth of the trauma the characters felt.

People struggle hearing about abuses towards children that can happen-yet, for this story in particular, I think a bit more description would’ve added another star. Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours did an excellent job guiding the reader into the plight of a child in an abusive group home. I wish Finlay had delved into the backstory involving Savior House more. And it cements Alex Finlay as one of the new leading voices in thrillers today.Ī Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.
