I was the recipient of an updated version of this book which includes an additional chapter at the end. I would have enjoyed the book even without that extra bit, but it was nice to have! I always love to have a strong female character to cheer for, and DS Becca Vincent is no exception as she navigates being the mom to a special needs child while also working to get further in her police career. I enjoyed the variety of characters and the dedication to their development despite this being a suspense thriller. I really liked the twists, the ones I did see coming and those that caught me off guard. This was a great escape read!
Thanks to Amazon Publishing UK for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.

I wasn’t in the right head space to read the book. Will try again in the future
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the ARC of Her Last Move, complete with bonus chapter!
I love John Marrs. Just needed to get that out of the way, full disclaimer that I would read the phone directory if it was written by him.
This did not disappoint. I expected no less. Absolutely loved it. A twisty story, with shocks and surprises everywhere!
A brilliant 5 stars, bring on the next!

Thank you Netgalley, John Marrs and Amazon Publishing UK | Thomas & Mercer for the eArc of Her Last Move.
What do you do when the Serial Killer you are trying to bring in is one step ahead of you? As a young DS Becca Vincent this is exactly what her first big case brings. As the body counts raises, she works with Joe Russell. A Police Super Recogniser to catch a glimpse of this person who is watching them. I really enjoy John Marrs' books, mainly because he seems to be able to write in different subgenres in the main mystery and thriller one.
This one is predominantly a police protocol with some great psychological elements, especially were our Serial Killer is concerned. DS Becca Vincent has been built very well as a FMC, trying to balance her work and personal life with not much success portrays. what I can imagine, a complicated real life way of DS/DSIs in UK. I also enjoyed the dynamic between her and Joe Russell as they try and hunt down this killer.
The whole book is medium paced and engaging enough for me to read pretty much in 2 sittings with some great twists and turns which sends you on your way with a few predictions of what's going on only to have that theory blown out the water.
This book has been released with a new prologue and a cover change. Both are great additions. I also listened to the audiobook which was also great. Elizabeth Knowelden does a wonderful job of voicing and keeping the characters with their own voices and building both tension and intrigue through the dialogue.
4.25 stars for Storygraph. 4 Stars for other review sites.
