The Last Word is a genuinely gripping thriller. Like, whip-through-the-pages good.
You've got an off-kilter author of some crappy horror novels, a reader giving a one-star review, a secluded beach house and some sneaky secrets.
The Last Word is right back to the fantastic cinema-ready thriller Taylor Adams established in No Exit. There's some awesome twisty creepiness here!
Unplug that landline and sharpen your katana - recommended!

The plot idea seems based on the Goodreads author who threatened someone and showed up on her door for giving her a bad review. This book takes it a step further with murder. There are some twists, but I wasn’t surprised in the end, who it was, but I thought it was a unique idea.
The audiobook with dual narrators (Emma and the killer) was fantastic.
“That night Emma’s killer wouldn’t be limited by his background or his skill set, with a little prep time, he could be whatever he wished to be, a Swiss Army knife, a shapeshifter, the sum of the internet’s deepest darkest knowledge: how to pick a lock, how to tie a clove hitch, how to slice a carotid artery, how to pass a police polygraph test, this was his greatest power.” Ch 9
“H G Kane has been toying with her, hinting in his own devilish way, that he is closer than she realizes, that he commands an omniscient power, that she’s trapped in his story, where not even a sapsucker falls without his knowing.” Ch 10
