Last Words by Michael Koryta, Irene Eisenhut, Stefan Lux
4.0
Last Words is a major departure of Michael Koryta's typical novels. (It's more like the first novel of his I read, So Cold the River, which is sort of a weird, almost-paranormal/still-a-thriller hybrid.)
I love Mark, who is not in a great head space after his wife's murder. (Which makes sense; who would be?) He's been sent to investigate this as a mixture of punishment and to get him away from his actual job while things die down (long story; you'll learn it fairly quickly, but suffice it to say mistakes were made).
While I prefer his more straightforward thrillers (which is to say without any sort of paranormal additions), this is still an amazing novel. And it's the first in a series! I can't wait to read the second installment, which looks to focus more on Mark's wife's murder.
Recommended.
