A new author for me but will certainly be reading more after this. Not a pleasant underlying theme but who knows what goes on in these terribly sad camps?
It seemed as if there were two very separate plots but of course they were eventually linked. Characters were believable and there was a little bit of karma in there too.
Try it, you'll like it

This is my first read by this author and it won't be my last. A complex plot full of suspense and tension. The cast of characters is compelling. The story is well written and perfectly paced. This book grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

Wow, wow, wow. I loved this book from the start, it drew me in from the first page and got better the more I read. The story was told by different characters and I liked the style, and felt it came together really well. There were lots of twists and turns in the book, and what started as two separate police investigations became linked together as the book gained pace. Whilst there are a few references to a previous police investigation, this book can be read on its own though. I will be looking at other books by Sibel Hodge now. Very well written and worth a read in my opinion. If I could give more stars I would and highly recommend this book.

An amazing book. Six women are found - killed in a fire - chained to walls in individual 'rooms'. Why were they there? Is it possible that a serial killing is actually linked to these women, rather than the double murder they are thought to be linked to? Which information is disinformation?

Loved it. The 'who' doesn't matter as much as the 'why' and 'how'.

I received a free advance review copy of this book. This review is voluntary, honest and my own opinion.

I’ve really enjoyed Sibel Hodge’s previous novels and settled down for another rollercoaster ride of a book .
So happy to see Detective Warren Carter is back from retirement to investigate a really terrible crime. We’ve gotten to know him and his wry view of the world from other books. Another crime and another dectective we know may be related. Please let them get together again every time. A timely and engrossing story, this is a gripping fast moving well paced police procedural but it’s their partnership that makes the story so good! Loved it!

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Always a Sibel Hodge fan! I really enjoyed this book, I finished a few days ago and it has still stayed with me. DC Carter and DS Harris are such great characters, you want to keep learning more about their lives and what is to come for them. This was a an amazing twisted story about separate crimes and a story of survival. It was emotional and thrilling at the same time.

WOW! Two intricate stories weaved together to create one seamless story...Sib el Hodge has done it again with another pulse pounding thriller that is utterly un put downable. She proves time and time again that she not only why she is my favorite author but why is also one of the best thriller writers in the game!

I was literally so excited when I read the description and saw that my favorite DI ever would be returning for another case. I can't begin to tell you how much I love reading through the eyes of Warren Carter and now DI Becky Harris!!! Each of them brought so much life into this book and seeing how both executes a case (or how similarly at times), it was really well done. Both being in Hodges previous novels, I really hope she continues on a path with these two.

The plot was so original dealing with a topic that i have not seen some before, it was intriguing, disturbing, yet thought provoking as it takes you into some of the new threats developing in the dark underbelly of society. I read this one in one sitting, i just how to know how all the players were connected and how it would all play out. Definitely in my top 3 of Hodges novels. Told mainly from the POVs of Carter and Harris, there were also the POV of a woman named Hayat who heartbreakingly describes her life in Salaam refugee camp in Jordan and also the POV of Gilliam, wife if Neal Lane, who is an intricate part of the story. These 4 POVs come together in such a harmonious way so that you see the entire story from different angels and perspectives.

As I began to learn more about each of the two different cases and background if the characters, at around 30% I did begin to start putting pieces together and did figure out some of the story but it only truly came together fully as it was explained by the characters as they pierce it together themselves. And let me just tell you those last 4 pages... I gasped as my hand flew to my chest in a major OMG moment. Shocking!

Definitely read this one. Twists turns conspiracies coverups. This one has it all!!! I can't wait to see what Hodge does next! (Please have it continue with Carter and Harris!!!

I want to thank netgalley and the publish for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I very reluctantly give this book a 3 star. The horrible thing is that if the book had good editing it could have been a 4 star..... not a 4 star literary tome, but a 4 star mystery.

When a book is divided into 3 points of view, it gets very complicated and confusing. And the book was way too long and too repetitive. It needed simple editing just so that the same ideas, same thoughts, same conversations are not put forth time and time again.

But the main problem is the section with Becky. That didn't need to be a whole new voice. The part of the story that refers to her murder inquiry could be shortened and added into Warren's very simply. The Warren story combined with the Hayat story should be and is the main thrust of the book, as the Hayat story is the most emotional and is the one that propels the reader to find out what is going to happen.

Already a fan of Sibel Hodge, I knew I was going to love this book and I most definitely wasn't disappointed. A taut, dark, suspenseful police procedural/crime thriller that kept me turning pages. The only reason for the four rather than five stars is that I found it quite formulaic. I would highly recommend it.

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

Their Last Breath is a brilliant police procedural book. It starts slowly but quickly builds into a unputdownable story. Sibel Hodge writes about subjects that are hard to read because we all know these crimes are real and actually happening. She writes with sensitivity, this is the second book of Ms Hodges I've read and she always leaves me wanting to read more.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sibel Hodge for the opportunity to read this book

I've read quite a few books by Sibel Hodge and am always excited when I see a new one is soon to be published. So I was thrilled to have a chance to read Their Last Breath! The story is clever ad well plotted, but the author especially shines in her creation of characters. Recommended!

Gillian comes home from a business trip and finds something not right in her house. She sees a man, flees her home and starts running down the street. The man gives chase until Gil is hit by a car. 📚
A fire destroys an abandoned warehouse warehouse, but leaves behind evidence of six women who were chained up and killed in the fire.
📚
Warren comes out of retirement to assist Becky with the investigation. Are the two cases tied together? Is this an inside cover-up?
📚
A pretty straight forward police procedural book, which while not absolutely thrilling, will keep you turning the pages. Took me two days to read this one. Which, if you know, says a lot about this book...

Thanks @netgalley for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

Their Last Breath by Sibel Hodge is a dark police procedural that keeps you guessing. I am a big fan of this author and jumped at the chance to read her latest book. She is absolutely a go to writer for me. This one was a little slower than usual but I still really enjoyed it. Great characters with a twisty story.

There are some familiar characters in this story but it is definitely a stand alone. We see the return of Warren Carter out of retirement when 2 murder cases have the teams working overtime. There is the murder of 6 women in an abandoned house fire and the murder for a couple who are tied up in their home. Are the 2 cases connected? Why was a police warrant card found at one murder scene? This is a story of police corruption and human trafficking at its darkest. Not for the faint of heart.

Thanks to Amazon Publishing and Netgalley for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.

Thrilling story of human trafficking, police corruption and the slightest hint of a romance.

Everything you look for in a thriller, murder, intrigue, flawed detectives and romance.

I really enjoyed this book

Wow. What an absolute scorcher of a book. This was dark and thrilling with the right amount of mystery and suspense. Brilliant five stars

A group of unidentified women dead in a fire, a police warrant card found under a girl with the name Hayat scratched into the floor. A possible serial killer who enjoys typing up couples and cutting them before strangling them. Are these cases related? If so, how? And who in the force does the warrant card belong to?
An enjoyable (not sure if that's an entirely appropriate word when referring to the subject matter!) read which kept me guessing at if the suspects tied together. A few twists and a not entirely guessavle ending. I've read a few books by Sigel Hodge and this does not disappoint.

Their Last Breath is a very twisty thriller
Just when you think you know where the book is heading, it takes a sharp unexpected turn
If you like psychological thrillers that will keep you guessing, this is your book

The fifth book I have read by Sibel Hodge - who is soon becoming one of my go-to authors - and definitely not one to miss. Their Last Breath welcomes back some characters those familiar with Hodge's books will remember - Detective Carter and Detective Harris - and brings together two separate murder investigations that soon collide into one dark and deceptive storyline. The plot makes you want to continue reading, even into the early hours, by giving just enough away to keep you guessing; full of action and twists, right up until the last chapter. I particularly enjoyed that the novel focussed on current political affairs with first person insight into the lives of those impacted. The only negatives for me were that I found it somewhat slow in places and some of the characters minor back stories a bit too stereotypical (police officer addicted to the job leading to relationship breakdown, etcetc.). A recommended read for anyone who enjoys police procedural, crime novels; I'll definitely be reading more of Hodge's work.

*I received an advance review copy of Their Last Breath from the publisher through NetGalley.

Thanks netgalley and Sibel Hodge for giving me the opportunity to read yet another book in the detective Warren Carter series.
Warren Carter is called out of retirement after six woman were murdered, and the double murder of a couple At home.
Nothing seems simple and a lot of people are involved including corrupt police.
I look forward to the next book about detective Warren Carter.
