Advance Praise

"Michael Wilton's books are always entertaining, and Death at the Last Chapter certainly fits that pattern. Having enjoyed his delightful romantic comedies, I was looking forward to this murder mystery. And the story delivers on all levels: well written, interesting characters and an intriguing mystery.

As the plot unfolds, the murders mount and the highly sympathetic main character, Robert Bruce, enters a world of unscrupulous people and deceit.

Robert Bruce isn’t a ‘superman’ with amazing detective powers. He’s an ‘everyman’ in many respects and that makes him all the more believable and interesting.

A well-drawn supporting cast add to the all round enjoyment. Also, the red herrings are well placed and greatly enhance the overall puzzle.

Furthermore, it was nice to see that the author had not abandoned his roots and included touches of humour.

The loose ends are skilfully drawn together to produce a satisfying denouement. Highly recommended for lovers of mystery fiction."

This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. A book of mystery and intrigue…friendships…secrets…the missing…the characters are likable in that the reader hopes they succeed in discovering those secrets…the story moves slowly at times but reaches a surprise ending.

Robert Bruce is asked to find a friends daughter that he never knew. But from the start murder happens and then clues get harder and harder to come by. And more bodies start to pile up. He does not give up his search!

This was an intriguing story that had me guessing. I enjoyed it very much!

Michael Wilton's writing style was rather delightful to me. It took me back to my much loved Mary Roberts Rinehart. I did like the main character: Robert Bruce. Robert was asked (or more like begged) by his close friend, Tom, to locate his daughter, whom he'd never had the chance to know or even meet. The next morning, Tom's dead body was found. So now Robert has two mysteries to solve. Will he be successful?
