Gripping

As usual I'm left sitting on the edge of my seat. Cliff hanger has me wanting the next book to be released ASAP.

best MD book so far

Holy cow! I thought I knew who it was or that I was at least on the right track, but dang..... I was way off. This one was fantastic! Matilda is going to end up institutionalized by the end of this series

Wood and Beattie deliver again!

I thoroughly enjoyed “Last One Left Alive,” the 12th installment in Michael Wood’s DCI Matilda Darke series. Stephanie Beattie's narration is truly exceptional, bringing the story to life with her exquisite vocal skills. The plot is intriguing, with Matilda Darke facing off against a cunning killer who’s targeting vulnerable individuals in society. With its twists and turns, this thriller kept me engaged from start to finish. A captivating series with a compelling heroine, "Last One Left Alive" is a must-listen. I’m eagerly anticipating Book 13 – as I am hoping it will continue where Book 12 left off. Worth a cherished credit. Epic, indeed!

Mathilda Should Move and I Will Move On

This series started out great but becomes more ridiculous with each story. Not believable that every crime is about someone’s obsession with Mathilda and her team. For her safety and the safety of others she should move to someplace far, far away.

Author needs to find a storyline that doesn’t involve serial killers and psychological angst as the main theme.

As with the last book, this was left without closure and honestly I’m to the point I don’t care what happens.
