I absolutely loved Their Last Breath! A killer crime thriller that’s very well written and doesn’t have to rely on silly unbelievable events to keep the plot going!
I was shocked at the darkness at times but it made a fantastic compelling read.
5/5
Sibel Hodge NEVER disappoints! Very happy to read another DI Carter/DS Harris procedural. Along with a new boss, they pursue parallel investigations which are tied. New team members are introduced and we are drug along the horrors of trafficking and murder. Well researched and unfortunately true-to-life make this a plausible and relentless thriller.
An early morning call ends Detective Carter's retirement and throws him head first into the unlawful killing of 6 women left to die in a fire....no one on the team could predict what happens next
I started this book yesterday and read until early hours to finish it as couldn't put it down. Gripping from page one, great characters and story. Two seemingly separate investigations led by Carter and Becky that became linked, added to that murder, trafficking, police corruption making a tense crime book that has rocketed into my top ten reads this year.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 brilliant stars
I’ve read all the author’s books and for me they are all 4 or 5 stars, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
Great characters, interesting storyline, really keeps you guessing. This has the makings of a book series as I’d really like to see what happens next with the characters.

Wow, what a roller coaster of a read, I have followed Sibel since her very first book and read all her books since then. I just love the way she writes, gets you involved in the story line straight away and this book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and I soon got involved with all the characters.
It was good to catch up with Warren Carter again, I just love his sense of humour there were quite a few lol moments with his comments.
I can thoroughly recommend this book and I hope we read more from Detectives Carter and Harris in the future.
Thank you to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for giving me the opportunity to read this fantastic book.
Their Last Breath is a well-written thriller and is full of twists and turns to keep any reader turning the pages. Would recommend
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.
Brilliant thriller, I enjoyed reading every page. The characters were all very engaging and I knew it was going to be a keeper from the first page. I will have to read all of Sibel Hodge's previous books after reading this scary at times thriller, highly recommended.
** spoiler alert ** 3.5 stars
A book that makes me want to go back and read the previous installement to see how the two main characters worked together and find the story of bloodbath farm.
Good characters,an all to believable plot,that has a few twists along the way to keep you wondering.
Good outcome,and left me wanting more.
Always a good plot line when the police suspect the police,and serves nicely to remind You,that nothing you do is secret these days.
Good multiple point of view narrative.
Sibel Hodge’s books have always intrigued me and I approached her latest (thanks to Netgalley) with a lot of expectations and she delivered with a chilling page turner.
Detective Carter is called back to duty when an abandoned building goes up in flames. Six women are chained inside and left to die and the truth dies with them.
One piece of evidence points to the fact that there may be a mole in the force and Carter finds redemption in the investigation. What the heck..he has nothing to lose and he will go to any lengths to find the insider.
His partner Detective Harris is following another case of a double murder with an MO similar to a previous one - Is there a serial killer on the loose?
Are there any connections between the two seemingly unrelated crimes?
Their Last Breath is the latest gripping thriller from the bestselling author of Duplicity and Into The Darkness. Hodge does not disappoint and springs surprises to the reader at every nook and corner. I have always admired Hodge’s writing with her effortless use of language and unrestricted style. She keeps us guessing till the end. A must read for thriller fans. My score 4* /5
This book was very well written. Nice and easy to read and flowed well. Had me on the edge of my seat. Wondering which way it was going to go. Great mystery can’t beat it.
This is one of the best books I have read this year. From the first chapter the author creates an atmosphere overflowing with tension and excitement. This continues throughout the story with several shocks and plot twists along the way.
I loved DI Warren Carter and was pleased to see that he features in two more thrillers. Hopefully the author plans to write more stories around him as I certainly want to hear how both his personal life and his career progress. I can't wait to read more books by this author.

Really love sibel Hodge and was great to catch up with detective Warren Carter again. Really scared thriller, thoroughly enjoyed this book would highly recommend
Detective Carter is brought out of retirement to help with the investigation into an building where six women are left to die in a fire.
There is also another murder investigation that may be linked to this case.
A police procedural story that keeps you guessing.
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first time I've read Sibel Hodge's work and I very much look forward to catching up with her other titles. "Their Last Breath" mostly unfolds via three points of view. It's a fast-paced police procedural, with a chillingly plausible plot, which I was unable to put down. I particularly enjoyed Warren Carter's dry humour and I think that Ronnie is a great, quirky character.
Their Last Breath is a fantastic and engrossing book. I could not put it down. Well written and well developed characters.
Warren Carter thought he’d left his career as a police detective behind him, but he’s jolted out of mourning for his departed wife by accusations of police corruption. He returns to work determined to uncover the terrible truth about 6 women in chains left to burn to death in an abandoned building. Could cops have had something to do with this horrendous crime? Carter won’t rest until he uncovers the truth
Sibel Hodge is an author who you know when you pick up one of her books it’s going to be good..you also know that there will be a on point, relevant theme...’Their Last Breath’ is no different
A sturdy police procedural that cleverly tells the story of 2 separate murder investigations, 1 a brutal double killing, the other a fire where 6 women, chained up, are killed
Enter Detective Carter ( fans will know him from Duplicity and Into the Darkness ) retired but now back in action and Detective Harris,( fans will remember her from ‘The Disappeared’) who cover the cases, separately ( at first.... ) is there a link, what is the link and is their a possibility, disgusting as it is to believe that the ‘baddies’ in these cases are actually working for the ‘goodies’
All this is woven into the story of a young girl desperate to leave a Syrian refugee camp
More than that ( and its so difficult in reviews not to give things away ) I am saying no more!!!
It is a well told, dark, informative and procedure packed story that held my interest throughout and with all the authors books gave food for thought on a subject we try to pretend isn’t happening
As expected the writing is geared to the reader, explains all parts of the story excellently and is story telling, based on the world at its best
If you love Sibel’s previous work you will again love this and if you have never read one of her books this is a fab one to start with
10/10.
