The Pine family became the center of a true crime documentary after the eldest son, Danny, was convicted of murdering a teenage girl while he was in high school. Several years later, parents Evan & Olivia, and youngest children Maggie and Tommy die in a "freak accident" while vacationing in Mexico.
The fourth Pine child, Matt, is left to deal with his family's death amongst and uncover the truth about what really happened with his family.
I enjoyed all of the characters and the different POVs. Sometimes I find the POVs can be a little lackluster, but in this novel, Finlay really executed it brilliantly. The characters were all developed so deeply that I felt connected to them.
The mystery kept me reading, as I was anxious to discover the truth. Although I did find the ending slightly predictable, I was very pleased with how it ended and with the reveal.
I recommend Finlay's debut novel, and rate it 4/5 stars. Thank you to Net Galley and the publishers for the galley in exchange for an honest review.
