The Last Word

Taylor Adams

3.72 AVERAGE


One of the most suspenseful thrillers I've ever read! The bloodcurdling premise made me want to actually scream. I think I finished it in a day. The twists and turns gave me whiplash and left me exhausted and not able to read for a few days, but I loved it and want to reread it. Did anyone else get Dwight Schrute vibes from the villain?

Talk about absolutely crapping the bed! The first 200 pages of this were incredible. Nail biting, engaging, gory, thrilling. Some of Adams’s best work. Then the third act started and it started to make less and less sense.
