The police are looking at Dex the only suspect, and Dex Just can't let this go, why was maya hiding, and who killed nick? You learn all the reasons why, and the ending just puts a smile on your face. Murder is sometimes the only way to save your family...and yourself.

I enjoyed the book immensely. The Last Girl kept me guessing until the end and the author tied up loose ends nicely. Dexter Vega is an interesting character and I can't wait to read more boo me about him.

Interesting suspenseful book about former journalist Dex Vegas and his quest to solve the mystery of a missing girl and the dead body of the man who hired him to find her.

I enjoyed this mystery story. It delved into relevant societal tensions, amid some jarring plot twists. The ending was fitting and provided satisfaction for both the protagonist and the reader.

This is a thriller from the very first page. The various secrets in the plot emerge slowly as the layers of an onion might. The characters are richly developed, but are never what they seem. Violence and sex play a large role, being handled with great delicacy while still getting the point across and creating mental images. While many wrongdoings are uncovered,, the identity of the killer is not revealed until the very end, and then indirectly. The story touches on much depravity, but also stirs up hope for humanity. I probably wouldn't have picked it up based on the title. I am glad netgalley recommended it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dexter Vega has been laid off from the newspaper in the Florida town where he lives. Being at loose ends takes a job for Nick Zavala a retired wealthy man who has lost track of his daughter. She is a local college student who he finds has gone to Mexico City on a study program. Nick is killed and there are fingerprints belonging to Dex on the murder weapon. This encourages him to go to Mexico City looking for the missing daughter. But all is not as it seems. Who can Dex trust and who is telling him the truth. The more characters involved the more suspects. The story moves along at a good rate and keeps you wondering.

Thank you to netgalley the publisher and the author the opportunity to read this book in return for my honest opinion.

This is a good book. The story Caught my attention right away, I really enjoyed the character of Dexter Vega. Dexter is drowning his sorrows, and ends up in quite a mystery, trying to help find a man’s missing daughter.

The next thing Dexter know, the man who he’s working for has been murdered and it looks like Dexter might be a suspect. So now he has to find his daughter just to exonerate himself .

There was lots of action, I enjoyed the story, it was a pretty quick read I liked the ending as well, which wasn’t what I thought it would be.

I would definitely check out more books by this author.
