For my full review, visit me at https://mrsbrownsbooks.wordpress.com/...Whilst the blurb of this novel really caught my attention, I found that it did not meet my expectations. Throughout the book, I was anticipating a ‘spark’ of excitement; instead, the narrative meandered its way to an anti-climatic conclusion, leaving me relieved that it was finished.
1.5/5 stars. PlotThe book is told in first person with alternating views of Theo and Deirdre. I like this format because (usually) each chapter/perspective would end in suspense and a cliffhanger. This was not the case for “Her Last Breath” as each reveal didn’t wow or hook me. I actually liked the motives and plot ideas, however, it was the investigation, lead up and reveal that really didn’t create the impact it could’ve. Deidre didn’t know Caroline as well as she thought, which was a great s...
A fast-paced, expertly plotted mystery about the depths of the secrets we keep hidden from ourselves—and those we love. Thoughtfully plotted and skilfully told, I really enjoyed and empathized with the flawed characters, especially Theo. Addictive and emotional.
“Her Last Breath” is a modern-day thriller, told in the voices of two survivors of a high society woman’s untimely demise. The main voice is that of her sister Diedre, who works for a instacart-type company where they not only shop for their clients, but refill soap dishes and take out the trash and organize the fridge, sometimes for creepy pervy clients. The secondary voice is Theo, Caroline’s husband who Diedre suspect’s of killing Caroline. Theo is from an ultra wealthy family who owns and op...
This book was amazing and full of suspense. The diverse and wonderful characters were great and the action was full on. I love these old time crime stories.
Fast Pacing, Plot Surprises, Unreliable Narrators… Oh, My!I love a good domestic thriller that grabs from the first page and doesn’t let go. This is one of those. I also love books that have well-done unreliable narrators… and this one has two! Unreliable narrators are hard to write well, but when it is done right, few other literary devices get you questioning what is real and what isn’t in a novel… and keep you turning the pages as you try to figure it all out. Both perspective characters keep...
I was approached by the writer to read this book and I'm glad she did, thank you Hilary.On the day that Deirdre buries her big sister Caroline she receives a cryptic email from her claiming that her death wouldn't have been an accident and her husband Theo Thraxton has got something to do with it. Caroline's death was believed to be an accident, an underlying heart condition but this email changes everything and Deirdre sets about to uncover the truth discovering hidden family secrets putting he...
When it comes down to the fundamentals of whether a thriller—regardless of subcategory (psychological thriller, espionage thriller, legal thriller, etc.)—will be commercially successful or not, I look at three criteria: pacing, plot intricacy, and emotional intensity. In the case of Davidson’s newest, Her Last Breath, the narrative receives stellar marks in all three categories. As far as pacing is concerned, it’s relentless from the first page to the last, making this one of those rare stay-up-...
This book was so bad it caused me to go back and raise the ratings on two other books I had previously given 1-star to this year. Those two books were leaps and bounds better than this book, and I cannot in good faith award them the same rating. The writing in this book was so bad it was cringeworthy. The characters behaved so randomly. There was also no real character development. Why did Deirdre live in a “dungeon” basement? Why did she never get a real job? What were her passions, hobbies? Wh...
Fans of psychological suspense, rejoice! Hilary Davidson delivers again.Life has been a little sketchy for Deirdre Crawley, but it has just taken a turn for the worse. Her sister, Caroline, died suddenly, leaving Deirdre more devastated than she thought possible. Compounding her grief is a strange email from Caroline, sent days after her death, that says, “No matter what it looks like, my death won’t be an accident.” And she claims that her husband, Theo, will be the one responsible. In the mess...
Sinister, twisty, and simmering!Her Last Breath is a gripping, sophisticated, domestic thriller that delves into the dynamic and intricate bonds between family members and reminds us that everything is not always as it seems and behind all those smiling, happy faces often hides an abundance of secrets, lies, and swirling emotions.The writing is menacing and tight. The characters are complex, secretive, and troubled. And the plot told from alternating perspectives is ominous and intense as it sub...
MysteriousThe most I can rate this is a three. The beginning was slow and too deeply descriptive for my taste.I knew who the killer was early on, too early. The last third of the book grabbed my attention as it got thrilling with action. Thank you to Amazon Prime for this first reads book!
