Worth the wait for a new Prescott thriller... January 16, 2002 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am such a fan of Michael Prescott that I find it hard to wait for each new novel. As I waited for Last Breath's release, I wondered what new characters and new plot twists I might enjoy. Wow! C.J. is so believable...she's just a gal with a job she loves, a past that terrifies her, co-workers who give her a hard time, and an ex-hubby that mollifies her into thinking he might be a decent guy. Wrong! He's nuts, she's vulnerable; and, if that weren't enough, there's another crazy out there who let her get away as a child, but is determined to get her now. I am always amazed at how Prescott is able to scare me to death and yet keep me turning page after page late into the night. I loved the book just as I have loved every other Michael Prescott novel. Once again, I'm waiting for the next one and hate the fact that it will be late in 2002 before I can, once again, be mesmerized by Michael Prescott and his wonderfully believable characters.
Prescott Never Disappoints December 23, 2001 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Michael Prescott has done it again -- written a psychological thriller that won't let you stop reading. Catlin, or C.J. as she prefers to be called, is a tough L.A. cop with a past that has been haunting her since she was 10 years old. An intruder, whom she thinks of as the boogeyman, broke into her home and frightened her so badly she has never been able to get the experience out of her mind. Now, he's come back to find her, and this time, he vows not to leave empty handed. A few surprising plot twists heighten the suspense and keep the reader up late at night. Prescott is not only a superb wordsmith, he writes in the female point of view more realistically than most male writers. "Last Breath" is a must for suspense fans.
excellent and under-appreciated September 25, 2002 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Everybody looks for something different in the books they read. Were all different. This book, to me, is excellent. Just like all his others. His stories and the way he describes them are movie quality stuff. Yeah, I know, everyone wanted the hourglass killer to be the main adversary. But the perosn they "did" use, (not letting out any spoilers.)was great. He was dark, perverted, mean and smart all at the same time. Great characterization. He was my favorite character of them all. This should be made into a movie..big time. It's dark, scary and tough. And lets not forget it has edge. I may be exaggerating, but i cant help it. buy this book. NOW!
Exciting thriller December 7, 2001 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
By the time she turn ten, C.J. Osborne decides she no longer needs a babysitter and following months of begging her parents give in to her demand. They leave her alone one evening on their Mohave Desert ranch. This makes C.J. feel very grown up until she notices a light just outside the window. An intruder invades her house, but not before C.J. takes refuge in the crawl space. She manages to keep the invader at bay until her parents arrive, but they believe that their daughter's overactive imagination kicked in big time. Fifteen yeas later, C.J. works as a police officer for the LAPD, but she never forgot that night of terror. Although she fights crime in the city's worse slums, she remains afraid of that one bogeyman from her youth. Too bad she fails to realize that her childhood nightmare has returned to eliminate the one person who escaped his clutches. LAST BREATH is an exciting thriller that will send shivers up and down the fan's spine because Michael Prescott enables the reader to walk in the shoes of C.J. Her valiant efforts to overcome her fears are laudable and add to the thrills and chills of the plot. Mr. Prescott shows off his talent as a unique and fresh author with a gift to keep the audience in a chamber of suspense. Harriet Klausner
Very Good December 7, 2001 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was good, but I would say in my opinion not as good as The Shadow Hunter. But not by much of a margin. Michael Prescott has a way with words that makes you feel as if you are right there in the middle of the action. He is the first author in a long time who has written a book where I found myself tensed and holding my breath as I read. He is a very good author and Last Breath is the third book I have read of his and will not be the last.
