Description
“[An] exceptional storyteller . . . Leave it to [Karen] Robards to deliver the start of a series that is distinctive and unforgettable!”—RT Book Reviews
A sought-after expert in criminal pathology, Dr. Charlotte Stone regularly sits face-to-face with madmen. At the age of sixteen, she herself survived a serial killer’s bloodbath. Because of the information she gave police, the Boardwalk Killer went underground, but Charlie kept her postmortem visions of the victims to herself. Years later, to protect her credibility as a psychological expert, she tells no one about these apparitions. Now a teenage girl is missing, her family slaughtered. The Boardwalk Killer—or a sick copycat with his M.O.—is back. This is the one case Charlie knows she shouldn’t go near. But she also knows that she may be the one person in the world who can stop this vicious killer, especially when she receives help from an unexpected source: The fiery spirit of a seductive bad boy who refuses to be ignored.
“Excellent . . . This story is going to haunt you.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Thrilling . . . a fun and sexy read.”—Booklist
“Tantalizing.”—Library Journal
Features a preview of the next Charlotte Stone novel, The Last Kiss Goodbye.
Reviews
The Last Victim is the last book I will be reading by this author...
1By Can't remember jackThis book was so totally absurd, that the supernatural element in it was funny. Charlie, the "expert on serial killers" is in love with and has sex with an ectoplasmic convict . I was so disappointed in this story line. REALLY??? This could have been a riveting story. Instead, all I got were the usual observations of serial killers and repetitive diatribe every time Charlie sees a ghost. Weak in the knees, dizzy, nauseated. Good grief!! She has been seeing them her entire life. One would imagine that she would be a pro by now. This whole ghost thing really ruined this book. Horribly written, weak plot, predictable and not worth the time. I can't believe all the folks who actually thought that this was an exciting read!! I only finished it because I paid for it.Loved it

5By TecfabI hate spending so much money on an ebook but I got caught and too intrigued by the sample to stop the journey. Ok the steamy scenes were a bit unusual compared to the rest of the dialogue but they were fun and Michael is a great character. Read it straight through on weekend..it's that engaging.The last victim
