Last Words by Michael Koryta

4.0

I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

I have been in a bit of a reading slump for quite some time, so I was relieved to find that I liked this book from the very beginning. I typically enjoy thrillers, but I enjoyed this one more than most.

Here are the things I liked most about the book:

1. The plot was complex enough to keep me interested and unable to guess at the ending.
2. The characters (the main ones at least) had a depth of development that I don't usually see in the typical thriller.
3. The setting becomes the star of the show. Descriptions of Trapdoor left me feeling claustrophobic in my own living room.

I had not read any of Michael Koryta's work before this book, but I intend to do so after reading this!
