I like Alex Finlay. He writes a book that can stay tense throughout most of it. The ones I’ve read so far always start off with a crime that seems to be based off a real crime and then he weaves his own tale from there. However, this one was just ok. There was no twist. Just a journey that was sad and a little anti-climactic. When the son of a mob boss is ruthlessly bullied at a ritzy and prestigious school, takes his own life, and it is then swept under the rug, a series of events is triggered that lasts across continents and years. It was interesting, it could be tense, it was also kind of straight forward and predictable. Just not my favorite from this author.
