Her Last Word

By Mary Burton

An unsolved crime pits a desperate woman against a relentless killer in New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton's heart-stopping novel of psychological suspense... Fourteen years ago, Kaitlin Roe was the lone witness to the abduction of her cousin Gina. She still remembers that lonely Virginia road. She can still see the masked stranger and hear Gina's screams. And she still suffers the guilt of running away in fear and resents being interrogated as a suspect in the immediate aftermath. Now Kaitlin has only one way to assuage the pain and nightmares--by interviewing everyone associated with the unsolved crime for a podcast that could finally bring closure to a case gone cold. But when a woman Kaitlin questions is later found stabbed to death, she fears that she's drawn a killer out of hiding. It's Detective John Adler's fear that the murders have only just begun. Now his job is to keep Kaitlin safe. As a bond between Kaitlin and Adler builds, the past closes in just as fast--and it's darker than Kaitlin remembers. Soon, her wish will come true. She's going to find out exactly what happened to Gina. Someone has been dying to tell her.

10/10 stars
Almost a five star....

Mystery and suspense = yes, main theme
Romance = yes, minor to the story
Sex = yes, one moderately detailed scene.

This was an interesting combination that was a little unexpected for the genre, but it worked. I could have done without the detailed sex scene: not necessary to the story. A suggestion of the relationship would have worked just fine.

This is my first time reading a work by this author. I will be sure to read more. The suspense and mystery were well done and the romantic tension woven in was a nice distraction. The characters were believable as was the storyline. The reader is given some foreshadowing to the killer and if you're paying attention you can figured it out, or at least think you have, before it's finally disclosed. Just enough mystery to keep you second guessing. ... so now I shall be on to The Last Move.
