I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I have read several of Lauren Carr’s book and this is my favorite one so far. Chris Matheson’s mom took him to see a famous author when he was 7 years old and the author and her husband disappeared that very night. They were never heard from again but now, many years later, new clues come to light. Chris and The Geezer Squad have to find out what happened!

There are a lot of suspects and a lot of twists before they are able to solve this case. They even get some assistance from the Faradays and the Thorntons (from two of Lauren’s other series) before they can bring things to a close.

Pets are always a part of Lauren Carr’s stories but this has to be my favorite adventure with Gnarly (Mac Faraday’s dog) and Sterling (Chris’s dog).

I definitely recommend The Last Thing She Said, and even though it’s the third book in the series, it does stand on its own. If it is your first Lauren Carr book, there are a lot of characters but she has a list at the beginning of the book that you can refer to if needed.

“Too many twists and turns to easily share about this book. Nevertheless, Carr has pulled off another “hit” that kept me reading in one setting until the clues were so well together that the villain fell into our laps…or Chris’s, LOL Carr has put a lot into the book beyond the mysteries this time…Characters enjoyed chocotinis, visited book stores…and even blundered into getting engaged (the ring had been purchased 4 months ago)… But, for me, a special thank you for the political spoof at a time when politics at the national level is devastating, gave me a laugh and lightened the load of it all!” – Review by Glenda Bixler, Book Reader’s Heaven
