Summary
From the bestselling author of One Small Sacrifice comes a suspenseful thriller about a dead woman who predicted her own murder—and the sister who won’t let the truth be buried。
When her beloved sister Caroline dies suddenly， Deirdre is heartbroken。 However， her sorrow turns to bone-chilling confusion when she receives a message Caroline sent days earlier warning that her death would be no accident。 Long used to being a pariah to her family， Deirdre covers her tattoos and heads to Manhattan for her sister’s funeral。
The message claimed Caroline’s husband， Theo， killed his first wife and got away with it。 Reeling from the news， Deirdre confronts Theo on the way to the cemetery， and he reveals both his temper and his suspicion that Deirdre’s “perfect” sister was having an affair。
Paranoid and armed with just enough information to make her dangerous， Deirdre digs into the disturbing secrets buried with Caroline。 But as she gets closer to the truth， she realizes that her own life may be at risk…and that there may be more than one killer in the family。

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 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 you guessing， and the author throws in some excellent unexpected plot twists （though they completely make sense when you think about it afterward）。 The female MC gets a shocking email days after her beloved sister’s death—she knows she will die and who her killer will be… her husband， whom she also states killed his first wife。 The sister confronts the husband on the way to the cemetery… and the gloves are off。 Not only were the characters and plot strong， but the author knows how to ratchet up the emotions… all those buttons you want pressed for a satisfying thriller。 If you enjoy well-written domestic thrillers， you will most likely enjoy this book。I received a free copy of this book， but that did not affect my review。 。。。more

In HER LAST BREATH， Hilary Davidson once again demonstrates her mad skills as a storyteller。 This is one hell of a twisted tale where nothing is as it seems， no one can be trusted， and suspicions and allegiances shift like quicksand beneath the reader’s feet。 Dark， compelling， and chock-full of suspense and layered characters， this novel has all the ingredients of a bestseller。 I loved it。

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- 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-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed reads。 Unputdownable。 The plot intricacy is equally impressive—the narrative features numerous bombshell plot revelations that keep readers guessing until the novel’s last chapters。 But it’s the last element where Davidson hits it out of the park。 Revolving around two dysfunctional families with more than a few horrors hidden in their closets， the emotional intensity of this story is off the charts—fear， guilt， sorrow， anger， terror… it all cumulates in a powder keg conclusion that will leave readers utterly satisfied。 This is page-turner of a thriller is an absolute "must read。" 。。。more
