Her Last Move

3.5 stars. Rounded down for a main character's death.

John Marrs is my favorite author, hands down

This one really didn't work for me. The characters were annoying, no one to really root for. Felt connected to none of them. The killer was just annoying. Some parts surprised me so I guess I'll give him that but overall I expected more from John Marrs. Going to give another one of his thrillers a chance but maybe his sci fi is just stronger

Overall, I am a John Marrs fan but I prefer his sci fi.

The very fact people were talking about him and taking him seriously was proof he was on the right path. But branding him a serial killer was lazy. Serial killers and psychopaths murder out of compulsion, he reminded himself. They do it because they have no choice. He killed with purpose. And eventually, everyone would understand why.

but won't
