An invisible killer with a 100% success rate. No one is safe. Not even those closest to Washington Poe . . .

A shooting at Gretna Green. A bride is murdered on her wedding day, seconds after she slips on her new ring. It's brutal and bloody but she isn't the first victim and she won't be the last. With the body count now at 17, people are terrified, not knowing where the sniper will strike next.

With the nation in a state of panic, the police are at a loss and turn to Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw - the only team who just might be able to track down a serial killer following no discernible pattern and with the whole country as his personal hunting ground. Can Poe and Tilly stop an unstoppable assassin, who never misses his mark and never makes a mistake? Or will he find them before they find him...

The Gang is Back Together!

4.5 Stars

At the end of Book 6, our gang is disbanded. Poe is transferred to another division and ends up patrolling the ocean for fish violations, DI Fynn gets promoted to a new department and Tilly gets stolen by one of the Secret Services - MI5 or MI6. Everyone is miserable.

And just like we all knew was going to happen, eventually the UK is terrorized by a sniper who seems to be killing random people. There doesn't seem to be anything that rules out any particular group. The victims are every race, gender, occupation and the crimes occur in ALL parts of the UK. The number of victims killed is up to 17 before someone decides that they need to call someone who knows what they are doing to stop this person. Washington Poe gets called back to get to work.

In the last book, it felt like there wasn't enough Tilly. Luckily, this time, we get to see the gang back together again....and that made all the difference. This case was extremely unique. So far, no one had been able to get even a small clue as to the identity of the sniper. Enter back in Tilly Bradshaw. Honestly, half of what she does to figure things out went over my head....things having to do with 20 sided dice and percentages of locations....

Anyway, once our guys get on the case, things begin happening and before you know it progress is being made. But were they too late?

Definitely another winner for the series and I can not wait to see what our gang is going to be up against next.

Another Fabulous Story

I love the way it’s written & narrated. Makes me feel as though I’m there with the characters who feel so real, like people I know. Mr Craven is one of the very best storytellers I’ve had the pleasure of reading or listening to.

M.W Craven’s Best Yet

Another fabulous, riveting story in the Poe series. No one crafts a thriller better than M.W. Craven.

Exceptional

I simply cannot get enough of Poe and Bradshaw. They are an EPIC duo,so quirky, funny, smart, and awesome! The ending is all the feels!

Wickedly clever. Has Poe finally met his match?

I really enjoyed The Final Vow, as I did all of the previous 6 books in the Washington Poe series. The narration is first rate, and the story moves along at a clip. I truly hope the word "Final" in the title does not mean this is the end of the line for Washington Poe.
