Last to Die

A Rizzoli and Isles Novel, Book 10

By: Tess Gerritsen

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at 14, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn - until the Boston PD puts Detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a coincidence is instead just one horrifying part of a relentless killer’s merciless mission.

Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong’s mysterious benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are dead on. And when she learns of Will Yablonski and Claire Ward, students whose tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim in mind.

Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner Maura Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s fate - unless Jane and Maura can finally put an end to an obsessed killer’s twisted quest.

Last to Die

Any additional comments?

Last to Die is narrated by Tanya Eby and approximately 10.5 hours of listening. Three tweens are victims, their parents, siblings, and foster parents all die in fires or automobile accidents or are mysteriously assassinated. Why? What do they have in common? Your initial impression is absolutely nothing! Why were these children saved? Thus is the mystery Rizzoli & Isles must solve.

Good story, albeit for my taste, a little longer than necessary. But, that’s just me. Tess Gerritsen has become one of my favorite authors. Every story has merit and I’ve enjoyed them all. Nice plot, interesting premise, well defined characters.

Tess Eby does a good job, you’ll enjoy the narration.

Looking forward to the next! Enjoy.

Awesome

As usual the story is wonderful.... I actually finished it on less done 24 hours could not put it down... Tess Gerritsen stories have always captivated me I don't think I'll ever ger bored 😄

Good for what it is

A little bit lightweight, but a good listen for a day of housework or some treadmill time. Takes a bit of getting used to if you, as I did, started with the T.V. show.

New thrill around every corner

Every new chapter led you around corners and into deeper depths of this mystery novel. Just when you thought you knew where a corridor led, you got a surprise popping out from a closet!
