About this listen

An extraordinarily beautiful Amish woman, a dangerous femme fatale, is the central figure in Linda Castillo's Her Last Breath, a story that reveals a dark side of Painters Mill and its seemingly perfect Amish world.

A rainy night, an Amish father returning home with his three children, a speeding car hurtling toward them out of nowhere.

What at first seems like a tragic, but routine car accident suddenly takes on a more sinister cast as evidence emerges that nothing about the crash is accidental. But who would want to kill an Amish deacon and two of his children? He leaves behind a grieving widow and a young boy who clings to life in the intensive care wing of a hospital, unable to communicate. He may be the only one who knows what happened that night. Desperate to find out who killed her best friend's husband and why, Kate begins to suspect she is not looking for a reckless drunk, but instead is on the trail of a cold blooded killer amid the residents of Painter's Mill. It is a search that takes her on a chilling journey into the darkest reaches of the human heart and makes her question everything she has ever believed about the Amish culture into which she was born.

Would you listen to Her Last Breath again? Why?

I don't like audible giving me headings as though I can't come up with anything to write.?! Linda Castillo stories are wonderful crime mysteries with the addition of a peak into Amish Pennsylvannia culture. This is one of the stories I go back to again and again. Kathleen McInerney is a great reader giving characters individuality.

Linda Castillo always great

These were becoming a little repetitive for me. But that’s my fault, when I find a new series I tend to read or listen one after the other, occasionally inserting a different author between two.

Prior to listening, I thought this might be my last in this series. However, this was really enjoyable, though that description is not really appropriate for the subject matter which was harrowing.

On to the next book!

Very good!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Less description please, this book would have been half the length it was without the padding

Would you ever listen to anything by Linda Castillo again?

Nope

What about Kathleen McInerney’s performance did you like?

She read it well but John Thomassetti (sic) sounded like a poor Clint Eastwood

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The basic premise of the story was good

Any additional comments?

Perhaps me coming in the series at didn't help

Bo-ring
