Book Description:
For decades, the writer’s fate remained a puzzling mystery until an autographed novel and a letter put a grown-up Chris Matheson on the trail of a cunning killer. With the help of a team of fellow retired law enforcement officers, each a specialist in their own field of investigation, Chris puts a flame to this cold case to uncover what had really happened that night Mercedes Livingston walked out of Hill House Hotel. Watch out! The clues are getting hot!

Review By LAWonder10:
Lauren Carr is a very creative, captivating author. I love the characters she produces!
They are of varying personalities and a few of them cleverly makes “quips” that are hilarious in a “dry humor” style. It is a clean humor that is hard to find in today’s society. The stories she writes hold the reader/listener in suspenseful anticipation throughout the book. Often there are multiple dilemmas going on so just as the reader/listener gets the impression that the book is ending, a new development takes place as the story continues… ‘The Last Thing She Said’ did not disappoint.
The Geasser Squad is a delightful group of retired individuals who were all retired from various forms of law enforcement. In this novel, they unite together with a few characters from a former series who are experts. It adds to the broadening and building of the story, with additional humor. As always the suspense and mystery stay strong until the last page. The reader/listener will not be sure “who did it” until the last page.
I listened to the audio with Narrator Mike Alger performing. He does such a great job in his portrayal of the various voices and attitudes. He brings their personalities to life in a way it enhances the story. He is very consistent and maintains the needed energy throughout the book.
I offer a Five Stars rating for another great book by Lauren Carr.
This audiobook was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
