How exciting to see a new book by Gillian McAllister! I loved her book Wrong Place Wrong Time and recommended it to my friends. Famous Last Words was everything I look for in an engrossing read. She kept me guessing the whole way through and gave this reader a satisfying ending to the story. In the acknowledgements, she explains that writing this book took longer as she had a baby. Here’s hoping her next un-put-downable novel will come along soon.

This book is fast-paced, gripping, and un-put-down-able! A family drama tied up with a police procedural, the story will have you sucked in from the first couple of chapters. What would you do if the person you love--the person you know better than anyone--was accused of a horrible crime, so completely at odds with who you know them to be? How do you move past that? This follow-up to "Just Another Missing Person" was WELL worth the wait. I loved every last page.

This is the story I've been hoping for. I love when a domestic thriller can pull me in right from the first page. Famous Last Words did just that. The writing is excellent, and the plot makes you think about how well you really know someone. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This had such good twists and turns that I was invested the minute I started this book. The characters were everything that I wanted and enjoyed the use of relationships and how characters use that. It had that crime element and it worked with the characters in this story.

A great book by Gillian that skillfully layers tension & twists, yet manages to show how love and hope can persist even in the darkest moments. In this twisty, emotionally thriller, we follow a literary agent named Cam. On her first day back from maternity leave, she faces the unthinkable: her husband Luke has taken hostages in London. One of the hostages is released, meanwhile two are killed and remain unidentified. Luke no where to be found. As the years go by, Cam clings to hope that he may still be alive and will have the opportunity to find out how / why he ended up in this situation.
