Publisher's summary

A stunner! Without a doubt, one of the best crime novels of the year!’ – No.1 international bestseller Jeffery Deaver

In search of a new life, seventeen-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.

The deeper she digs into the island’s secrets, the closer danger creeps – and the more urgent her quest to find the killer grows. Because what if Adriana is not the last girl to die?

Beautifully haunting with twists and turns you’ll never see coming, The Last Girl to Die is your next obsession waiting to happen. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and L.J. Ross.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely and totally loved this book. Outstanding and compelling, it gave me whiplash from all the twists and turns.’ – million-copy bestseller Angela Marsons

‘An adroit and highly atmospheric mystery.’ – Times Crime Club

‘Fields has a knack of keeping you gripped for hours.’ – The Sun

‘Gloriously dark and twisty.’ – Fabulous

Underwhelming

I was excited to read this one and the more I got through it, the less I liked it. Unfortunate waste of time.

Really riveting story

I am a huge sci-fi fantasy fan but I love historical and I love a seriously good murder mystery, especially if it’s set in Scotland or Wales or Ireland which is where my people are from.
I really enjoyed this. it was a lot of fun, mystery, mail butting “what’s next” and kept me listening whenever I had an opportunity to put my AirPods in until I got to the end.

Twisted!

Just when you think nothing more can happen... it does! And just when you think you know who did it ... you don't! Good story, not crazy about the ending.

Didn't care for this one!

I have listened to quite a few books by Helen Fields, and loved them all, but the writing of this story is unsatisfactory. It's as if another author wrote it. Characters (including the main character) and dialogs are very superficial, immature, and even irritating. The additional, new narrator's voice, would lend itself better to romance novels, or stories for younger folks. The story idea is good, but not meaty enough, like the previous ones. I'm disappointed, as I looked forward to this one coming out and even pre-ordered it.

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

Too long

In the USA, we have the the Internal Revenue Service - NOT Inland Revenue. The reader used British pronunciation of several words - not American or Canadian.
The story was interesting except predicable. And long - I fast forwarded when I realized the “scenes were protracted”.
My family roots are from the Ross of Mull and I was slightly disappointed in this book.

Not the Helen Fields I knew

This is your ordinary, run of the mill chick lit mystery. I hate that genre so I when I picked this up, I thought it was going to be one of Helen Fields’ usual masterfully crafted detective thrillers. It’s not and it’s pretty bad. The female narrator’s voice annoyed the heck out of me; Robin Laing is great though and it’s a shame he only read small portions of the book. Please Helen - go back to your roots. You might get some new readers with this new junk but your diehards will refuse to listen.

Helen Fields not at her best

Disappointing, plot far fetched, main character behaves stupidly, end very strange. Helen Fields can write better stuff.

No, no, no, no, no, no...nope

I can't believe I spent 12 hours listening to this garbage! The last 6 or 7 chapters unveiled the stupidest plot resolution I've come across in quite some time. People do not behave in this way in real life.The protagonist in this story is as dumb as a bag of hair. I am tired of stories with females behaving like idiots. Ugh, don't bother with this one...so so so ridiculous.
