Thank you to Sharon Sala, Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Last Rites is a well plotted complicated romantic mystery on several fronts. Lawman, Aaron Pope is searching for a gunman who was seen by Dani Owens, a witness hiding from the twin of her stalker who vowed revenge after his brother was sent to prison. Throw into this mix an old diary written by one of the town’s founders and readers are in for an interesting, poignant, and exciting adventure. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

I really liked this book. Realistic fiction at its best. The story moves quickly. The lives of the characters would make a great television series. Curl up and get cozy. Get lost in this book. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author.
