Reviews

Garrett's teens are realistically (if one-dimensionally) self-involved, though Harper and some of the others have flashes of insight that point toward their evolving maturity as things spiral out of control. A second death paves the way to an unexpected conclusion in this quick-moving thriller.--Publishers Weekly
I devoured LAST TO DIE, a compulsory readable light mystery, in a few hours. Garrett's writing style kept me turning pages.--Amy Feld "NetGalley "
