Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.5

This was my first thriller in a while and I absolutely ate it up! 
Gillian’s writing is so clever and slick but also has lots of heart & empathy.

The story itself was really engaging and such an enjoyable read. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen until about 80% which I love. 

The way the clues are pieced together is so satisfying, allowing you to try and figure everything out alongside our protagonist, rather than an info dump at the end. 

I thought the characters were real and complex and loveable (some, not all). 

I can’t wait for her next book!
