The Last to Die

For starters I began at the end of this three book serie. I must say that I liked the last one the best but I have become a big fan of B.B. I enjoy reading her books. I probably would have liked this a lot more if I didn't have the knowledge of who the killer couldn't be b/c they were in her final novel. All in all, I have enjoyed reading her books so far.

Thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and the romance in this book. I loved getting another glimpse of Dallas and Genny. Caleb and Jazzy definitely have chemistry as well. The suspense/mystery was great and kept me guessing until the end!

I think I like this one even better than The Fifth Victim. While Jamie was a complete jerk, he didn't deserve to die like that! Jazzy & Caleb's relationship was great and I enjoyed catching up on Genny & Dallas. I can't wait for the third and final book of the trilogy! The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the return of Reve. What a shallow, arogant creature she is! She believes she's better than everyone else who wasn't raised in money! Which is ironic considering she wasn't born into privilege but found in a dumpster! She was a complete snob, insulting, bigoted and downright cruel and those were her best qualities! I hate to see her involved with Jacob (the neanderthal savage, as she thinks of him) since he deserves so much better! But regardless I'm still looking forward to seeing more of Jazzy and the rest of the folks in Cherokee Pointe!

I trully enjoy Beverly Barton's books and this was no exception but I was a little disappointed with the ending because in my opinion there was none--it's actually a cliffhanger type ending with a set up for the third and final book ( although we do get the answer to who killed jaime and why). I guess I wanted all the questions answered and the hero and his lady to ride off into the sunset. Never the less it was a excellent book and I can not wait to buy the third and final book in this saga!

In Cherokee Point, Tennessee, heir to a fortune Jamie Upton may be engaged but he still plays the field. One of his ladies is Jazzy Talbot, owner of Jazzy's Joint, a popular restaurant and bar. She knows she should stop seeing the philanderer, but so far has not cut the ties. However, a third party severs the connection when that person brutally kills Jamie.Most of the townsfolk believe that Jazzy killed her lover in a crime of passion because the evidence points towards someone he knew and trusted. However, Sheriff Butler and psychic Genny Madoc believe otherwise though they feel a woman committed the atrocity. Soon other murders follow and a frightened prime suspect Jazzy turns to her new bouncer, drifter Caleb McCord for protection, but neither expected love to spring up between them.This sequel is an exciting serial killer romance that gains the attention of readers from the start as everyone will wonder who the red haired killer is. Jazzy and Caleb are a delightful duo; however, the return of Genny from THE FIFTH VICTIM is duel edged as fans will enjoy reading her latest visions but also wonder how many serial killers stalk Cherokee Point (population control?). Still THE LAST TO DIE is a terse thriller that fans will appreciate and wonder who will be AS GOOD AS DEAD when Jazzy's doppelganger arrives in Cherokee Point next November.Harriet Klausner
