The Last Thing She Ever Did

This book is horrible—in a good way—from the start. There’s an accident, a missing child, and guilt-ridden adults who behave like selfish mongrels fighting over the last bit of raw meat on a carcass. Gregg Olsen knows how to set up a suspenseful story and fill it with despicable characters that you love to hate. Jeezzzzzz, Liz! Just kill yourself already! No spoilers, but Liz will make you get another glass of wine, pound the arms of your recliner, and yell at your husband when he unwittingly interrupts your reading. (Not me. I didn’t do that.) The Last Thing She Ever Did is a gripping, heart-wrenching book with a twisty yet satisfying wind-up. If you love engaging thrillers that keep you turning pages, you must read this one.

The plot got me hooked right from the beginning and, as it progressed, it got a bit repetitive before ending on predictable lines. What stood out for me was the way the author has wrung out a lot of emotions from the two lead characters. Though none of the characters is likeable, except for the police detectives maybe, the reader gets emotionally invested.
This one is an engaging read, more due to the author's vivid descriptions of emotions than the actual story.

Yet another winner by this wonderfully talented author. It's exciting...suspenseful... and believable. Olsen blends characters into the storyline slowly allowing the reader to ponder the who, why and how. The ending will surprise you and leave you wanting more.

This book was fast paced and intense. You will be hooked from the first page, and you will not be able to put this book down. It is an intense story about how dangerous secrets can be... and how easily mistakes are made. The emotions inside this book will rip you in two, and you will not be able to stop yourself from finding the truth... no matter what the cost may be. Gregg Olsen is taking not prisoners with this novel... and he is a master at creating terrifying moments.

3.5 stars, it was really hard for me to get past the first few chapters of this book. I really didn’t like it, but it definitely got easier to read. The reason I didn’t give it four stars is because I found it very predictable.

My heart was racing from the get-go on this book. In spite of the anxiety it brought me, though, I couldn't put it down.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would!
