Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister
4.0

An enjoyable thriller with a compelling premise. The middle got a bit slow, but I genuinely liked Camilla as a character and I felt connected with her personal struggles, so I never wanted to put the book down. The ending was a little trite and I guessed one of the main twists right off the bat (that the manuscript was written by Luke)

My main complain is one of personal taste — the writing is extremely British, so having to decode all of the British-isms in the setting really took me out of the plot as an American reader.
