Last Whisper Book

Excellent book, suspenseful, a definite page turner. Carlene Thompson has become my favorite author as she satisfies my strong desire for intrigue, along with a bit of romance. She portrays characters who come to life for the reader. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction.

Excellent as Usual

Carlene Thompson is wonderful. Once I start one of her books, I can't put it down until I finish it. This one was no different. It seems like she just keeps getting better. I live and grew up in West Virginia and it makes her books seem even more real to me, having grown up around the areas she writes about. This book was written in my hometown so it was a lot of fun reading it. I never can guess who did it because it's difficult to come up with a motive. I can't wait to read her next book. I would highly suggest reading this book.

The BEST suspense book ever!!!

I just finished up the novel LAST WHISPER by Carlene Thompson. This has to be the BEST suspense book I have ever read!! I actually got goose bumps just by reading the back cover!! Vincent was so incredibly sexy!! I felt such sympathy for Brooke and her troubled life. Elise lended Brooke even more realism by her little quirks! I was kept on the edge of my seat and completely unable to determine the identity of the relentless murderer!! I highly recommend this book!!! Carlene Thompson's fans must read this immediately!!!

exhilarating romantic suspense thriller

In Charleston, West Virginia, she was eleven when her stepfather Zachary Tavell ended her childhood by killing her mother and pointing the gun at her head. Brooke Yeager was lucky to escape with her life. Fifteen years later, Brooke is a successful realtor mentoring twenty-one years old Mia Walters. They go to show a house late at night, but no one shows up. Brooke allows Mia to drive her new car, but before they leave someone shoots the driver. A stunned Brooke runs to a nearby house that she is familiar with from her last bout of violence. This is the home of now retired Detective Sam Lockhart, who with his late wife was so kind to her when she dealt with her mom's murder. Though widower Sam suffers from Alzheimer's, he takes in Brooke while his son mystery writer Vincent wants her to leave. While the two male Lockharts try to keep her safe from her stepfather, who escaped prison, Brooke and Vincent fall in love; however she fears attachments as people she love like her daddy who died from cancer when she eight and her mother "leave". LAST WHISPERS is an exhilarating romantic suspense thriller that starts off at hyperspeed and never slows down until the final family reunion. The action-packed story line is driven by relationships to include those dead. Sam worries about Brooke; Vincent worries about Sam; Brooke worries about the Lockharts. Though Zachary's thirst for vengeance seems at first over the top, a terrific plausible twist makes everything possible and creditable so that readers obtain a fantastic tale from one of the stars of the sub-genre, Carlene Thompson.

5 stars

Fifteen years ago, Brooke Yeager was orphaned when her stepfather killed her mother and was stopped before he could kill her. Then, he breaks out of jail and his first act is to kill a young woman who bears a resemblance to Brooke, barely missing Brooke herself. Brooke's stumbling flight to safety takes her to the home of the homicide officer who befriended her as a child. Sam Lockheart is not at the top of his game any longer, in fact, his son is there caring for him. Sam is still able to give Brooke some help and Vincent Lockheart finds himself being drawn into her life, protecting her from the madman intent on finishing what was begun long ago. Anyone who gets between the killer and Brooke is in danger. As the threats and bodies mount up, it seems certain that Brooke will have to face her tormenter again, but with less favorable results. ***** This is simply a stunning thriller. Though a watchful sleuth might figure out the ending twist ahead of time, the conclusion is stunning. Brooke and Vincent's romance is an added bonus that develops beautifully in the shadow of fear. This is definitely not only on the keeper shelf, but a book you will want to give to your friends. ***** Amanda Killgore for Huntress Reviews
