Review by Linda
Her Last Request is one of the best thrillers that I have read recently. I Loved the way the story was written with a clue from the victim found at the first murder scene which sets the detectives on their way to finding out who committed this horrific murder and why, but they don’t have much to go on.
From the first chapter, I was already hooked and eager to find out more.
The characters are described so well that they came across as very real. I especially appreciated the characters Kate and Hank as they are our protagonists who are solving the case, but I also enjoyed getting to know Lisa Carmichael and David Stone.
There are some dark and gruesome parts to this tale that adds to the storyline and the mystery throughout. There was also good use of descriptive language and lots of detail adding weight to the plot.
Her Last Request was gripping and a definite page-turner that kept my attention from beginning to end and I raced through it.
Well done author Mari Hannah this book is definitely a winner for me and I will recommend it to family and friends.
