The Last Thing to Burn
by Will Dean
Ooof! I’ll precipice by saying … just brilliant!!
A woman being held captive is willing to risk everything to save herself, her unborn child, and her captor’s latest victim in this claustrophobic thriller.
Another deep, tough and creepy one from me. I loved this one from the first page. This is the first sentence…
“I’m not going back. Not now, not ever. My right ankle is the size of a fist and I can feel bone shards scraping together, six-year-old shards, as I limp away from the farm cottage towards the distant road.”
This is a dark, atmospheric, sometimes difficult to digest, psychological thriller. I’ve not read Will Dean before, however I look forward to reading more from him.
It’s a heartbreaking and harrowing story of survival. Beautifully written, capturing the voice of the victim with unique clarity and tenderness. A story of a woman’s extraordinary will to survive under unimaginable abuse to protect herself and those she loves.
It’s a fictional story of the horrors and tragically, very real horrendous human trafficking crime. Probably the best atmospheric writing I’ve read in a long time. The claustrophobia and fear were palpable. I was lucky enough to buddy read this with a group of amazing booksta’s and our chat often mentioned it’s suffocating, claustrophobic prose.
This is not your normal psychological thriller, there is so much more to this captivating and heart wrenching book. This one will stay with me for a long while. Please mind the trigger warnings though, as it won’t be for everyone.
TW- physical and emotional abuse, kidnapping, rape, torture.
