Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister

 


Thriller or mystery?  I love both!

Camilla has just finished her maternity leave and is returning to work full time.  It’s her daughter’s first day at daycare.  It’s a busy and momentous day, but what is odd is that her husband, Luke, is missing when she gets up and he left her a strange note.  While at work, she discovers that a hostage situation is going on in London and that Luke is the hostage taker.  Why is her happy, fun husband holding people hostage?  What has happened?

This was a great thriller that kept me guessing throughout the book.  I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to ruin the surprises for other readers.  I really enjoyed Camilla as a character and the plot kept me guessing right up until the very end.  This was a quick read, although the middle part was a slower read than the rest of the novel.  The novel primarily told through the point of view of Camilla and Niall, the hostage negotiator.  I enjoyed both of their stories.

Overall, Famous Last Words was another great thriller by Gillian McAllister that is not to be missed.
