Her Last Word

By: Mary Burton

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

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.

Excellent

I enjoyed a love story progress. It was really neat the way a woman finally got brave enough to find out what really happened to her cousin.

Narrator’s Tone is Annoying

The story was good, but predictable. The narration was annoying though. When there was no dialogue, she adopt sarcastic cadence and inflection to her words.

Just Okay

I wanted to love it. I didn't. I tried harder. I couldn't. It felt very forced. I wish there had been more twist to the "who dun it" it just seemed really slopped together and so very forced. The romance was so eye rollingly forced. Just not what I have come to expect from Mary Burton and her storytelling. I enjoyed the narration.

Great Listen, keeps you guessing

It’s hard to review a book without giving anything away. Sorta 2 stories tied together here and while one made sense the other “ending” of the other storyline didn’t make sense at all. Why would a person be that obsessed with someone they never met soooo I think the author let us down with that one. This book was just the right length and didn’t keep dragging on and on.

Great

I really loved the story. it kept me listening the whole way through. very well done 👏
