Last Orders

By: Maria Frankland

Narrated by: Jenny Myers

From where I stand in the shadows outside the pub I own, I can already tell what mood my husband’s in and it makes me want to stay exactly where I am. However, I can also see my bar manager, Jay. Sexy, young and exciting, he’s the person who’s going to set me free from my middle-aged monotony.

I’m dreading turning fifty more than I’ve dreaded any other birthday in my life. Now that my kids are at university, the prospect of spending the rest of my life with my bullying, balding and boring husband is a miserable one.

Which is why I employed Jay. He gives me the reason I need to get up, to go on and to look forward.

And I’ll do anything to keep him.

He’s due to go travelling in a few days and wants me to go with him.

Every part of me screams to begin the new year as I mean to continue – by leaving the old behind in favour of the new. But I have a major obstacle to overcome.

Bryn. Since he’s discovered my affair, he’s realised how much he’ll lose.

And he’ll do anything to prevent me from leaving.

He’s hatching a plan for the New Year party we’re having at the pub this evening. But what he doesn’t know is that I’ve got one too. It’s just a matter of which one of us will go first.

Either of us could be the victim of what’s going to happen as the clock ticks into New Year’s Day.

And either of us could be responsible for it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is an excellent domestic thriller.
Debra a pub owner, falls in love with a co-worker, Jay, whom she just hired. The problem is that she’s still married. Husband Bryan catches Debra & Jay in the act at work and wants Jay out of the picture to try and win his wife back.
The story is very entertaining and has lots of twists and turns. The ending was a great surprise!!
I listened to the audio version and the narrator did fantastic!
*It’s out now!!*

Excited for Book 2

What a great way to start the New Year! My first 5 ⭐️ read of 2026 that’s actually a thriller surrounding the New Year holiday. This story had many layers to unfold, many in which I did not see coming!

Bryn & Debra hasn’t been happy for a while and now that Debra has her new boy toy Jay, the decision to end her marriage is much easier for her to make. But Bryn… Well basically he said over his dead body 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration. Jenny Myers magnified every tense filled moment! The ending of this story left me speechless and I can’t wait to dive into Book 2!

Last Orders

I loved the story. Narration by Jenny Myers was good,I don't understand why they think in American English but speak in British accents. It was confusing to begin with. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Wonderful performance

Last Orders is a story full of twists and turns and kept me guessing throughout. The performance by Jenny Myers really brings the characters to life. I very much enjoy listening to her audible books!

Excellent

Very nice continuation of this tale. Narrator does a phenomenal job bringing all the different characters to life
