Book Description

August 29, 2006

Someone is tracking her every move.
A killer who knows that true nightmares never end…
And that the perfect murder is always worth waiting for…

Brooke Yeager's childhood ended the night she crept downstairs to find her beautiful, gentle mother, Anne, lying in a pool of blood. Standing above Anne's shattered body, a gun aimed right at the terrified little girl, was Brooke's stepfather, Zachary Tavell. Luck saved Brooke that night, and in the years since, she's managed to build a good life in Charleston, West Virginia, secure in the knowledge that Zach is behind bars. Until the night another woman is murdered--a woman who looks just like Brooke. Zach Tavell has escaped from prison, and this time, Brooke will need much more than luck to survive.

As the police search for Tavell, Brooke is shaken by a string of gruesome deaths and disturbing messages linked to her mother's murder. Everyone she has ever cared about is in danger. And soon it's clear that the nightmare that began fifteen years ago won't be over until Brooke comes face to face with a monstrous evil that's closer, and more cunning, than she ever imagined...

"Thompson creates smart, interesting characters the reader cares about within a gripping suspense story."
--Judith Kelman, author of After the Fall


"Intriguing…brims with madness and creepy thrills."
--RT BOOKclub Magazine on Share No Secrets

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as Usual, February 20, 2007
This review is from: Last Whisper (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 20, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Last Whisper (Mass Market Paperback)
Carlene Thompson is one of my favorite authors, so this book was a real disappointment.

The culprit was obvious from the first time they appeared in the book. Perhaps if their behavior hadn't been so over the top, it wouldn't have been so obvious. A little subtlety would've definitely gone a long way here.

I also found the dialogue to be very amateur and juvenile. Several times I actually read lines out loud to myself because I thought for sure I had to be wrong about what my eyes were seeing. It just was not well-written at all, and I caught several errors that a good proofreader could've easily found.

I certainly hope the next book is up to what I've come to expect from Carlene Thompson.

4.0 out of 5 stars THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES..., December 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Last Whisper (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read many of the author's novels and have yet to be disappointed. She is a born storyteller, who is able to craft sustainable and suspenseful romantic mysteries that rival those of Mary Higgins Clark. I am definitely a fan.

In this novel, Brook Yaeger, a beautiful twenty something, has tried to overcome a past that was filled with great sadness, as she first lost her beloved father to illness and then, later, her gentle mother, when she was murdered by her step-father. Brook, a little girl at the time, escaped death at his hands by a stroke of luck.

Now, fifteen years later, people Brook knows are suddenly meeting unexpected, violent deaths. When one of her co-workers, who just happens to be Brook's doppelganger, is murdered, Brook is convinced that her step-father, Zach Tavell, who has suddenly escaped from prison, is stalking her and trying to kill her. Brook knows that her luck has run out.

The book has many twists and turns and, as often happens in the author's novels, the reader can certainly expect the unexpected. The story line movies at a brisk pace and is well-plotted. The reader will be fully caught up in the story that the author has woven.
