Summary
With the staggering intensity of James Lee Burke and the absorbing narrative of Jane Harper's The Dry, We Begin at the End is a powerful novel about absolute love and the lengths we will go to keep our family safe. This is a story about good and evil and how life is lived somewhere in between.
You can't save someone that doesn't want to be saved....
For some people, trouble just finds them. Thirty years ago, Vincent King became a killer.
Now, he's been released from prison and is back in his hometown of Cape Haven, California. Not everyone is pleased to see him. Like Star Radley, his ex-girlfriend and sister of the girl he killed.
Duchess Radley, Star's 13-year-old daughter, is part-carer, part-protector to her younger brother, Robin - and to her deeply troubled mother. But in trying to protect Star, Duchess inadvertently sets off a chain of events that will have tragic consequences not only for her family, but also the whole town.
Murder, revenge, retribution.
How far can we run from the past when the past seems doomed to repeat itself?

Incredible book
I cant think of the words to describe how good this book is. It is one of the greatest books i have ever read/listened to. However, the narrator is awful. His delivery is staccato and unfeeling. I almost gave up near the start because of him but im so glad I didnt.

A gripping story with beautifully drawn characters, very sympathetically narrated. Really loved 'We Begin at the End' by Chris Whitaker.

Brilliantly written and narrated
I didn't see the end coming, and when it did, everything made perfect sense.
I will be looking for more books by Chris Whitaker.

Full circle
I’ve rarely read such an ingenious, poignant and complex book, yet written in simple language. Outstanding.
