In search of a new life, 16-year-old Adriana Clark’s family moves to the ancient ocean-battered Isle of Mull, far off the coast of Scotland. Then she goes missing. Faced with hostile locals and indifferent police, her desperate parents turn to private investigator Sadie Levesque. Sadie is the best at what she does. But when she finds Adriana’s body in a cliffside cave, a seaweed crown carefully arranged on her head, she knows she’s dealing with something she’s never encountered before.

so disappointed!!!

I have been so thrilled at finding Helen Field's books, read them all and lamented when they finished! and have since forgiven Ms. Fields for the ending of the long and tantalizing ending of the relationship between the two detectives, Callanach and Turner and was looking forward so much to "The Last Girl to Die' set in Mull.
I'm not sure that Ms Fields even wrote this book, it was so surprisingly lightweight and far fetched & the characters were not memorable in the least. Most irritating was the narrator, who sounded like an American high school girl excitedly getting ready for her 'prom!'
Please! Authors! make sure you have a say in the narrators for your audibles ( tho according to Ms. Fields own words following the story, she chose this( 17 year old sounding) narrator herself!) In stories about death they need at least a little mature gravitas in their voices.
I'm still thankful to Ms Fields however for all the Callachan and Turner books on tape, excellent and with one of the finest narrators I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. This is, by the way the first time i've ever been disappointed enough to write a review......... Lilian S
