My Last Words

Clean Suspense (Detective Jason Strong, Book 24)

An officer responding to an ordinary welfare check on a sunny afternoon finds himself thrust into a life-and-death struggle to save a woman. Despite his best efforts, she dies in his arms.

Jason and Vanessa are called away from family obligations to what they hope is a quick open-and-shut case, but instead find troubling signs of a devious murder plot. Are others in danger? Have they missed a clue that might cost innocent lives?

Together, they must find a killer using one tattered left behind clue—a note containing their victim’s Last Words.

The surprise ending. I was stymied until the last fifth of the book.

I really like the characters. I’ve listened to the whole series and some of them more than once. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.
