O Último a Morrer by James Grippando

nickym96's review

3.0

This one was a bit slower than the first two I read. But they have been consistently unpredictable. I admit to being surprised a lot of the time. I still don't love the characters. Jack isn't exactly a catch. And he seems to attract the craziest of women. The women in these books, or the way they are portrayed, is a problem. But the plot has plenty of twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the end.

Very sad, very graphic, but great great storyline with unexpected twist (at least, I was surprised)

I picked this up on the recommendation of a friend who had read some of James Grippando's stuff before and liked it; I'm glad that I did. The story was entertaining and well presented. You could always tell that there was something you didn't know and that there would be some kind of twist, but it actually took me quite awhile to figure out (which was much appreciated because often the "twist" is so obvious in this type of book that it's very anti-climactic). I liked that it included the legal side of the equation as well as some action without the action being overly gory and in your face as sometimes thriller novels can be. I was also very glad that you could pick this up as a stand alone story without having read the prior ones and this didn't rely on those for introduction and also didn't spoil anything that happened in them so that I can go back and read them later if I so choose. I enjoyed this very much as a quick and entertaining read, so would definitely recommend giving it a shot.

Jack is asked to help Theo's brother, Tatum, when he is named in a will. Jack represents Tatum and finds out that the will leaves $46 million to whoever is left alive out of 6 people named in the will. The woman who died had been killed and it is unknown who the murdered is. One of the six has not been identified and the other 5 are all people who were connected to the dead woman and she didn't like them. They all start receiving threats and Tatum is accused of beating up one of the people. Jack isn't convinced his client had anything to do with it.
The woman's sister is in Africa and Jack and Theo go to visit her trying to get some answers. The woman had been attacked years before and her daughter killed and she then married a millionaire who subsequently died. The killer of her daughter was never caught and it haunted her. Jack is attracted to the woman's sister and also dealing with his feelings for his employee, the mother of the boy he is playing big brother to.
As the story progresses some of the named heirs are killed and Jack has concerns. He eventually has an idea who is the killer and goes about trying to prove it. He risks his life and Theo's.
Several twists in the story and it brings in some of Jack and Theo's history.
