The Last to Know by Jo Furniss

4.0

---

In "The Last to Know" by Jo Furniss follows pre-retirement cop Ellie and journalist Rose Kynaston as they circle around a twenty year old murder. Ellie claims that this is the case that still keeps her awake at night. Rose is married into the family that was destroyed by the case. The only person who really knows what happened is dead... or does someone know more than they're sharing? Who is actually the murderer?

This book was so so good. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I can figure out the murderer too quickly and honestly this book had me guessing until the end. I felt like all the clues were pointing to one character, but then I was wrong! This book provides so much background for the different characters, but the more info you have the harder it is to see the truth.

I will admit that some parts of the book felt unnecessary, like the tv show producer who lived at the foot of the mansion. But overall, this book felt well constructed. There were some parts that I didn't quite grasp, maybe because it's set in England? But those things can be easily overlooked. In the end, I gave this book 4 stars and recommended it to some friends because it was a great quick thrill!

Thanks to Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review! This book comes out today!
