Wayward Pines Wannabe
"The Last Murder" is the first book that I've read from this author. And I don't understand all of the hype about the book nor the author. Like Alex Michaelides, I think Thurton is overrated. Maybe Thurton's style of writing just isn't in my wheelhouse. I haven't read his other novel. But based on what I've read in this novel, I don't think I would want to read anymore novels from this author.
The novel reads like a wannabe Wayward Pines meets The Thunderhead. But it fell short of the suspense and world building. It starts off boring and continues on that path with dull characters and a generic, flat landscape.
Not much more to say except that I didn't appreciate the novel as much as others. A one star DNF.
I received a DRC from Sourcebooks Landmark through NetGalley. This review is completely my own and reflects my honest thoughts and opinions.
