Let Me Go by Chelsea Cain
4.0
4/5 stars!
The sixth and final book, Let Me Go, in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series was a good conclusion to the ongoing plot.
The plot of this book centres around Jack Reynolds, local drug kingpin, throwing a masked Halloween party with a security detail subcontracted to a military group. Long story short, there’s a kidnapping and multiple murders. Gretchen Lowell is at large…but after multiple alleged sightings, she still cannot be located.
Another gritty and suspenseful read. The plot has many twists and turns that I didn’t expect, which always ups the ante to any good thriller. The ending left a ‘bad taste in my mouth’, so to speak, because I didn’t really get a good sense of closure on the series. I aim to avoid dropping spoilers in my reviews, so I’ll leave it at that!
I have to say that I am happy the series comes to a close with this book. It feels like it’s been dragging along over the last couple books. Our main character, Archie, is always in the midst of some dangerous or foolish act. He has a Stockholm-syndrome vibe with a beautiful and nefarious serial killer…and no matter how many times he has the opportunity to capture or kill her - he doesn’t. Archie is a deeply flawed character which makes him more personable despite his terrible judgement.
A decent ending to this series!
