NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This novel blindsided me with twists and surprises that had me gasping…and with a poignancy about relationships and love that one rarely finds in the genre. A brilliant, brilliant book.” —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

From the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes an addictive thriller about a new mother’s world upended when her husband commits a terrifying crime. How well does she truly know the man she loves? And what danger does she face if her entire life has been built on a lie?

It is June 21st, the longest day of the year, and new mother Camilla’s life is about to change forever. After months of maternity leave, she will drop her infant daughter off at daycare for the first time and return to her job as a literary agent. Finally. But, when she wakes, her husband Luke isn’t there, and in his place is a cryptic note.

Then it starts. Breaking news: there's a hostage situation developing in London. The police arrive, and tell her Luke is involved. But he isn't a hostage. Her husband - doting father, eternal optimist - is the gunman.

What she does next is crucial. Because only she knows what clue lies in the note he left behind...

Famous Last Words is the story of a crime, a marriage, and more secrets than Camilla ever could have imagined. This novel cements Gillian McAllister’s reputation as “the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations.” (Emily Henry)

Beautifully written

I love McAllister’s poetic phrasing and descriptions which really make you feel like you are there. Beautifully written novel. Devoured it in 2 days.

The suspense!

Really loved this lesson! Was trying to figure out the whole time who was involved with what, it was a surprise and so was the ending. Not your average.

Finally a GOOD listen 👏🏻

This story captivated me start to finish. Thank you to the author for not using absurd amounts of cursing. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to listen to a mystery book without cringing. THANK YOU!

Best book ever!

Best book I have read in a long time. Very exciting and thrilling! Love love love!

Really enjoyed!

Really enjoyed the narration and plot. Kept me guessing for most of the book which I feel is rare these days.
