This book is about a group of kids who grow up in a group home together. It tells the story of where they are now as adults, as they try to figure out who is trying to kill them and why. There are likeable and unlikeable characters, some really creepy bad guys, and some taut intrigue.
But what I really like about Alex Finlay is…he goes there. His descriptions of Washington, D.C., a town he knows well are solid and full of tongue in cheek commentary. He also riffs on famous politicians and public figures in the spotlight, for example, “These rich dudes who have more money than they’ll ever need, but waste it on flying into space or buying more companies or mansions.”
Every Last Fear was my favorite Finlay title, but this one is not far behind!
