The Last Dead Girl

By: Harry Dolan

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

On a rainy night in April, a chance encounter on a lonely road draws David into a romance with Jana Fletcher, a beautiful young law student. Jana is an enigma: Living in a run-down apartment and sporting a bruise on her cheek that she refuses to explain. David would like to know her secrets, but he lets them lie-until it's too late. When Jana is brutally murdered, the police consider David a prime suspect. But as he sets out to uncover the truth about Jana, he begins to realize he's treading a very dangerous path-and that her killer is watching every move he makes.

Critic reviews

"Dolan's seemingly effortless prose sets off dialogue that surprises and delights, and his intricate plot is simply dazzling: a twisting, shifting labyrinth of events, characters, and motivations . . . every bit as good---if not better---than the first." ( Booklist)

Um… things left unexplained

Narrator was horrible… tolerable enuf to get thru but annoying when he did female voices. There were unanswered issues that bothered me but overall liked the storyline & felt it was well told.

I really liked this book

This book kept me coming back. I could not stop listening . Loved it until the very end. Must listen to the end.

Pretty twisty

Well written and twists came together well. As someone who grew up in upstate NY, it was an interested and recognizable read

Creepy!

What a story! Couldn't stop listening. A twisted tale, very well told. I thought that narrator Michael Kramer was the perfect voice to narrate it.

It just keeps getting more intriguing.

Where does The Last Dead Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I like a book that keeps going deeper and deeper, giving the reader things to think about and be aware of. This one did it for me. A good story, a superior narrator and an always changing plot. Good characters, well developed.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot twists. I kept being sure I had things figured out until I realized I didn't.

What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Michael Kramer is among the best of the best narrators. Just the fact that he narrated the book made it a must read for me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nothing extreme. A little nervous for the characters from time to time.

Any additional comments?

I listen to a LOT of books. I have listened to 30 or 40 books per year for the last 15 years. This one is not far from the top of my list. I bought the hard cover for my wife. I know she will enjoy it too.
