Review: Last Seen Alone

✩✩✩✩

Up-and-coming attorney Leigh Larson fights for victims of sexual extortion, harassment, and online abuse. She is not afraid to go after the sleaziest targets to get payback for her clients. Leigh is laser-focused on her career—to the exclusion of everything else—until a seemingly routine case and a determined cop turn her world upside down. Austin homicide detective Brandon Reynolds is no stranger to midnight callouts. But when he gets summoned to an abandoned car on a desolate road, he quickly realizes he's dealing with an unusual crime scene. A pool of blood in the nearby woods suggests a brutal homicide. But where is the victim? The vehicle is registered to twenty-six-year-old Vanessa Adams. Searching the car, all Brandon finds is a smear of blood and a business card for Leigh Larson, attorney-at-law. Vanessa had hired Leigh just before her disappearance, but Leigh has no leads on who could have wanted her dead. Faced with bewildering evidence and shocking twists, Leigh and Brandon must work against the clock to chase down a ruthless criminal who is out for vengeance.

Review: I really loved Last Seen Alone. The final twists of the plot were certainly unexpected and just for that I was glued to the book until the very end. 

Of the two main characters, Brandon was clearly my favorite, although that may be due to the fact that at the beginning Leigh comes across as less than helpful in the investigation and not a very nice person. She of course redeems herself later, and the romance with Brandon is sweet, but I still had more difficulty connecting with her.

 

 

   

 

I don't think it's Laura Griffin's best, but it's close. Recommended!

Happy readings!
