Last Seen Alive by Joanna Schaffhausen

5.0

Last Seen Alive, book 5 in the Ellery Hathaway series is just brilliant! I have loved everything about this ride and now it feels we have come full circle. I was sad when I finished it but satisfied with all that had happened.

This is a hard book to review without spoilers. This one could be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the entire series in order. There is so much to Ellery and Reed as well as our serial killer Francis Cohen. In this book we learn alot more about Cohen and how is mind works. He reaches out to Reed and offers to give up the locations of the bodies, in exchange for a face to face meeting with Ellery. It has been 17 years and while she knows that the victims families need closure, it is one of the hardest things she has to do.

I loved these characters and all that they had been through. The storylines, their relationships - everything. A fantastic serial killer and police procedural series that you need to read.

Thanks to Netgalley and St Martin's Press for my advanced copy of this book to read.
