Last Breath

I have read all of the books in the Body of Evidence series, and I thought that after Brain Trust there wouldn't be anymore. But then came Last Breath. It really satisfies the expectations of fans of Christopher Golden and BOE. Like another reviewer, I am all rooting for Danny and Jenna despite their age difference, and this newest release in the series really plays with that aspect. Fans will not regret reading this. Can't wait till Throat Culture comes out in April.

Nineteen-year-old Jenna Blake thought that she would be spending a relaxing summer in Somerset, filled with quiet, and no studying. After all, with classes out for the summer, Somerset University's campus is something like a ghost town, completely deserted. However, the minute she gets involved in a new case at the medical examiner's office, her summer turns out to be anything but relaxing, for there is a crazed serial killer on the loose, and he/she is drowning various victims in some of Boston's most well-known public places. Everyone knows about the cases, yet no one has any leads as to who might be the murderer. Then Jenna puts her mind to it, and uncovers an important piece of evidence, that lands her smack dab in the middle of the murder investigation, and makes her a prime target for the murderer. It has been many anguishing years since the last BODY OF EVIDENCE book was released, yet Christopher Golden and Rick Hautala's latest effort, LAST BREATH, was utterly amazing. As always, Jenna is a wonderfully entertaining character, who is beginning to show a bit of her wild side for once, and her quirky personality is as funny as ever. Filled with all of the characters that BODY OF EVIDENCE fans know and love, as well as the series' trademark mystery, this is an absolute must-have!
