A deliciously dark thriller that leaves a bitter aftertaste, like a great dark chocolate or superior claret. The writing is truly spectacular...I didn't think the author could get much better...she is set for great, great things. Top-notch crime thriller which deserves its place at the top of bestseller lists, not just in Ireland, but worldwide
I couldn't put Last Kiss down...It was dark, it was deep, it was scary, it chilled me to the bone. It was brilliant!
I loved both the previous books in this series...and this book easily matches...and maybe even surpasses them in terms of the depth and complexity of the plot. This is a dark book...When the killer and their motives are unmasked, it left me with a feeling...as if this were all somehow more than a fiction
Louise Phillips goes from strength to strength...Last Kiss takes her writing to another, more intense level. The pace is excellent, the characters, familiar and new, well drawn and believable. Highly recommended
My God, what a book. I just couldn't put it down. This is a book YOU MUST READ. Fantastic
Phillips is superb at suspense, at conjuring up a dark menacing atmosphere, but her underlying humanity stops it from becoming too bleak
There are very few books that I couldn't put down upon commencing, but Last Kiss was different...Sex, power, greed and evil combine to a satisfyingly chilling yet enthralling read that had me turning around checking I was home alone
