Anther great read by Anna Smith . Can't wait for next instalment hope it's as good as last few . Well worth a read .
Another fab read by Anna Smith and the latest in the series. Great catching up with Billie and the rest of the gang. Another gritty case but dealt with brilliantly as always.
I’m so happy I’ve read this!!!! Okay, it’s a harrowing case Billie is asked to work on by the immigrant brother of a young lad locked up after what seems like a cut and dry, caught red handed double murder. Yet with Anna nothing is ever simple and there are always hidden depths and darkness like no one else can write.
Gangsters control the most vulnerable in our society but our heroine is on form and with help from friends and the lovely Scanlon, no one is safe.
This book once again confirms how bloody fab Anna Smith is, because once you start reading it, you can’t put it down!
A really good book. Was a strong read with a strong bunch of characters. Great read as usual
Thankyou to netgalley for the opportunity
Wow, Last Seen certainly hit the ground running at the start - and the tension, suspense and thrills that followed didn't let up. I think Anna Smith has come up with a cracking read here, I was drawn into the story immediately which really grabbed my attention and interest. The writing is very good, the story flows well, the pacing is perfect and I can picture the characters in my mind when reading. Billie is asked to take on a case of a young man charged with murder and to find a missing girl so enters the world of child trafficking, prostitution, drugs and controlling men who will do anything to protect themselves. I think the plot line is very well thought out, multi layered, believable and above all realistic and gritty. Billie uses her ex police sources and other people who are not exactly law abiding in her efforts to find Mina and help others in same situation, and the mix of police/private investigating/criminal underworld really works well here with great effect. I liked Billies character development here, and I love the glimpses into her home life and friendships with Scanlon and Millie. Anna Smith does like to keep her readers guessing and here is no different as at one stage I feared the worst for Billie and had a huge feeling of dread for what may be ahead for her.
Overall a very good thrilling read and I'm looking forward to the next book and expect trouble ahead. If you like thrillers that make you want to know more, with strong characters then this is for you and I'd recommend this book and series.
4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thankyou to netgallery and the publisher for the ARC! The publication date is the 1st Feb 2024! This is the first book I’ve read from this author and it won’t be the last.
The book is everything you need in a psychological thriller lots of twists and turns and lots of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. My favourite character was Billie as I would always wonder what would happen next for her.
Overall, a fantastic page turner of a book and I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series.
