    A stay-at-home mom with a past.
    A has-been rock star with a habit.
    A reality TV producer with a debt.
    Three disparate lives.
    One deadly secret.

    Twenty five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, having forged a bond through the abuse and neglect they endured as residents of Savior House, a group home for parentless teens. When the home was shut down—after the disappearance of several kids—the three were split up.

    Though the trauma of their childhood has never left them, each went on to live accomplished—if troubled—lives. They haven’t seen one another since they were teens but now are reunited for a single haunting reason: someone is trying to kill them.

    To survive, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their shared past—a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead.

    It’s a reunion none of them asked for . . . or wanted. But it may be the only way to save all their lives.

    What Have We Done is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and a gut-wrenching coming-of-age story. And it cements Alex Finlay as one of the new leading voices in thrillers today.

    A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

      This is an amazing storyline with believable and interesting characters. You have many twists and turns in the book as you move through the storyline. This book is very good right to the end. Enjoy!
    • 5/5
      I'm so glad I finally started reading this author. Big fan of the layered storytelling with the complex morally grey characters.
      In their childhood, a group of kids in a foster home learn to rely on each other. Girls keep missing, and all they are told is that they are finding homes. Yet no one seems to see any families coming to meet these girls or give any warning they are leaving. One day in their adult life changes all of them and finds them facing death. Coming together once again to find out why their friend was killed and more of them have attempts on their lives. Absolutely recommend this book.

      The very best of psychological thrillers - the very best by this author yet!
