suspense the whole way through. just when it looked like a respite, something else started.

I chose this rating because it kept moving and included more than one storyline.  Will recommend to my reader friends.  I am a little put off by Pullers need to brag about himself. Made me smile more than once.

The Last Passenger was certainly not a typical spine tingler. There were so many twists and turns that I got completely wrapped up in the whole thing. A good read.

It was slow in parts, started off with gusto...and slowed way down... Took me a while to get through that slower part. But when it picked up, I could not put it back down! The suspense was killing me....  I'd recommend it to people who like that kind of thing. The scenery sure was nice too.

Suspense builds throughout with several potential directions that the plot could unfold keeping the reader guessing. Does not follow the typical predictable pattern. The key character could have been the protagonist or the antagonist right to the end which gives the reader an unusual perspective.

The suspense was beyond expectations,  the author did an excellent job in weaving a back drop of all the characters, and it took two third way in that the drama was revealed and then the pace of the story just accelerated.  I loved it, as until the last few pages all were revealed and all in the right dose.  Ha, I wish I can tell more, but part of the enjoyment of this book is you trying to figure out who is who, and how they really fit in!  I  ant wait for the second instalment.  Loved it, loved the author's story telling, very well done!

It started sudden, and the events gut-punched you when you least expected. It was impossible to stop up to the 30% mark, and even then only because I had to wake up early the next morning. It was unputdownable. It's been a while since I've last read a mystery novel that drew me in so much.

It wasn't the fact that I didn't see the end coming; the actual "mystery", if you paid attention throughout the novel, was fairly easy to guess. But the first three quarters of the book were so written as to keep you guessing. Just when you think the events will calm for a bit and let you catch your breath after the last plot twist, a new change of situation arises and how can you stop reading just then? You can't. I cared so much about the characters and their fate that I kept reading till the very end, even to just read the confirmation of my suspicions.

I liked how the characters were created with one exception - the bad guy. After all he'd done I was expecting more cruelty on his part in the end, not the mopey, gushy, touchy-feely man. But I can overlook this because the rest of the book was a thrill to read!

This book made me miss mystery and crime novels.

I received an advanced free e-book copy of the book from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.

Author Hovey does a great job of creating believable characters and giving the protagonist just enough believable errors to make her seem real, not a cardboard character.  The suspense and terror build to an excellent climax.  Not the kind of book you want to read late at night, unless you plan to be up the rest of the night to calm down when you finish it.

Then it suddenly picks up and is hard to put down.  A nice ending letting you know how each character fairs.

Great suspense. A bit off the "normal" Gresham but a very good read. The end is a nice surprise.

Very suspenseful. Completely surprised by the ending. Hard not to just read it all in one sitting. I recommend it whole heartedly.

This book never had a dull moment.  It kept me in suspense until the very end.  Engaging and guessing the whole time who the real killer was.

Two women attacked six years apart. One lives a half-life, crippled by anxiety. One dies but clings to the afterlife, unsure about why she stays. The only thing that can allow either of them to move forward is to find the person responsible by uncovering the secrets, lies, and shame that let a murderer roam free. It took a while for me to get invested in this book, but when I did, it was impossible for me to put down. The narratives are shared by the living victim, the dead victim, and the female investigator. It was set of perspectives I've not seen before, but it worked fairly well -- I could have done without the investigator. When the two victims' lives and narratives collided, it was pretty amazing. The suspense and tension were sustained until the end, and I foolishly followed a red herring for an embarrassingly long time! The ending was good enough that I didn't even mind. There was a nice pace once you pass the first twenty- five percent, and the surprises and revelations just kept coming. I did have a little trouble keeping characters clear, especially minor ones like parents or exes and I would occasionally attribute them to the wrong girl, but it wasn't a huge problem. I was rather disappointed when it was over because I was enjoying myself so much. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This well written suspense book held my attention from the beginning to end. There were a few surprises along the way and a big one at the end. The writing style, written from each character's point of view, was interesting.
