Her Last Breath by Linda Castillo had me hooked from the first chapter—and by the time I got to the end, my jaw was practically on the floor. You’d think after a few of these Kate Burkholder books, I’d start catching on, but nope. This one snuck up on me with a twist I absolutely did not see coming. Not even a hint of suspicion.
It starts with what looks like a tragic hit-and-run involving an Amish family, but (as usual) there’s more going on under the surface. Kate dives into the investigation, and things get darker, twistier, and a little more personal. I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough.
Linda Castillo delivers again: Great pacing, compelling characters, and an ending that made me sit there blinking like what just happened?!
