DESCRIPTION:I look at the wedding photo on the wall and my heart freezes as I recognise the groom. I spent the night with him, just a few days ago. I had no idea he was married. And now he is dead…
I feel my new friend Harper’s eyes on me as I try and make myself comfortable in her living room while our little boys play together. But when she leaves the room to get cupcakes out of the oven, I let out the breath I’ve been holding. Does Harper know who I am? That I’m the woman who spent the night with her husband? The last person to see him alive?
She was so excited to invite me and my son Dex over. I thought it was because of our boys. But now I wonder…
How much does she know about me and my past? How long have I been in her sights? And did she plan for me to meet her husband, the night he was murdered?

MY THOUGHTS:
Kate and Harper share a common thread: they both have young sons who are roughly the same age. However, they also share another connection: they both knew Jamie, who was Harper’s husband. Interestingly, Jamie was the man Kate had a one-night stand with. Recently separated from her husband, Ellis, Kate may have been seeking solace in a fling. Tragically, the day after their encounter, Kate discovers Jamie’s lifeless body.
In a panic, Kate flees the scene, determined to avoid suspicion in Jamie’s murder. Years of a secret she’s kept has left her feeling vulnerable, and she fears that revealing her truth could make her the prime suspect. This internal conflict is a constant struggle for Kate.
Then there is Harper. She is not going to take Jamie’s murder lying down. She does the best thing she imagines possible. She devises a plan to befriend Kate, hoping to gain her trust and cooperation. However, this is no ordinary friendship between two mothers. Harper insists that their sons become fast friends, despite Kate’s hesitancy.
If you’re a fan of intricate plots and suspenseful reads, then look no further than The Last to See Him. Just as you are working out one twist, another pops up…and then another. What a cunning story with protagonists that you might want to trust or that you absolute do not want to trust. Prepare to be captivated by this thrilling and impossible-to-put-down read.
