Spindler still hasn't failed to please!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2008

Erica Spindler is in my top ten favorite/must read authors for a reason. She has more than proved herself as a talented, page turning author. Her characters are solid and interesting. Her facts are more realistic than a lot of books in the same genre. In LKV, Patti O'Shay, a captain in the New Orleans police department is out to find her husband's killer. The first clues come from an abandoned refridgerator left in Katrina's aftermath. One of my three suspects eventually became unmasked as the killer. This isn't a bad stat. I like to be kept guessing, and Spindler suceeds in that again here. I hate having to wait a year each time for a new Spindler book. If you haven't read any books by this author, I recommend you pick up some of the older ones first. Work your way through them to this one! Last Known Victim isn't a five star book like most of her others, but it still is way above the norm.

I like 's Spindler

I like Ms Spindler' s novels about the Malone "brood" very much. The characters are finely developed and it's been fun getting to know them. I come from a big mostly Irish family, too, so I understand the dynamic. I love Captain O'Shay/Aunt Patti so much! She is on a rollercoaster of emotions in this book and her two families, the Malone clan and the NOPD need to be there to help her catch a serial killer in post-Katrina New Orleans. I liked this book very much, except for one thing: it ended too abruptly - it made me feel like I do when I'm watching a terrific episode of a favorite TV show and it gets near the end, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, and this appears on the screen: To Be Continued. Except for that small issue, I give Last Known Victim four stars. Thank you, Ms Spindler for sharing your talent with us.

Good Read

I always enjoy Erica Spindler's books, although this wasn't her in top form.

Having read the previous books with the Malone family, I was familiar with them -- but it's been awhile, and once the whole family got involved in the storyline, I started getting really confused about who was who. I can't imagine someone who was reading this as their first book about the family was able to keep up with everyone. I also thought the murderer's identity was obvious, although their reasons why were a little convoluted.

The book also could've been about 100 pages shorter and still been good. It seemed a lot of pages were taken up with explanations of policies and procedures which could've been condensed and given us the same information.

Rating - 3.5 stars

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2017

This was actually a pretty good book with an interesting assemblage of characters and a plot that wasn’t necessarily your classic serial killer/police procedural. It was enjoyable to read and the author did a reasonably good job off building suspense. That said, nothing about it warranted a rating higher than 3.5 stars. Once you’ve read a superbly-written police procedural where a diverse cast of well-drawn, believable characters pursues a serial killer, whose character is equally well-drawn, through a very intricate plot, only then will you have read a novel that earned a rating of 4.5 - 5 stars and will be able to easily discern the difference between those novels and novels such as this one. I’m not saying that I won’t buy or read another book by this author, but I will have very realistic expectations about its nature and quality.

I liked th book however, I gave it a four star rating because it started off so slow,and continued to "drag" on until half way through the book. The story was well written and the characters were likable, however, the author could have made several changes to the beginning of the book.

Erica’s mysteries kept me on the edge of my seat. Was not quite sure until the end who did it.

Not great

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2008

From the synopsis of this book it seemed that it would be about Patti O'Shay who is part of the Malone clan. However, the book was primarily about Yvette. I'm just not interested in reading a book about a 22 year old, self-involved, bad tempered stripper/hooker. She wasn't particularly likeable and I didn't care if she got killed or not.

While I appreciated the insight into post Katrina New Orleans, I hope the next book is really about a member of the Malone family or at least someone with rooting value.
