Carla Kovach – One Last Prayer

Thanks to Bookouture Books for my gifted ebook to join the tour with my honest review.

She races home, her young son clasped tightly to her chest, glancing over her shoulder at every face she passes. She reaches the safety of her home, closing the door behind her. Little does she know the danger that awaits her inside…

When local vicar, Sally, packs away the brightly coloured toys and dog-eared books left over from a morning parent and toddler group, her heart pounds as she discovers a note left behind:

Help me.’

Sally knows the mother who sat in that spot. Rushing to Nell’s small house nearby, her feeling of dread grows. Her frantic knock goes unanswered. Inside, she hears Nell’s one-year-old son Alfie crying, but still Nell doesn’t come.

Running to the back of the house, Sally’s breath catches at the sight of Nell’s lifeless body laid out in the garden.

When police investigate the young mother’s tragic death, rumours start to spread. Some say Nell had enemies. Some say she wasn’t telling the truth about who she really was. And some say she was running from a dark past.

With reports of a mysterious figure seen watching Nell’s house, it’s clear whoever took her life is close by. And when a break-in at the church ends with a brutal attack on Sally, the vicar who found Nell’s body, it’s clear that this killer isn’t finished yet…

Fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter and Clare Mackintosh will absolutely love this gripping new thriller from Carla Kovach. Addictive from the first page, and with a jaw-dropping twist, you won’t be able to put this down!

My Review

Anyone mentions a new Carla Kovach book, and I’m on a mission to get it. That’s how good she is. One Last Prayer is the sixteenth book in the Detective Gina Harte series. I have read each and every one of these books and feel I know Gina Harte like I would know a friend.

It may be the sixteenth book, but Carla Kovach makes each book as fresh as the first. There is no slowing down in this series! Fast-paced and thrilling, One Last Prayer was such an addictive read.

Character development is second to none with this series. Multi-layered and so real I can almost see them jump out of the page.  This case sees Gina and the team on the hunt for a murder of a young mum, Nell. She was discovered by the Sally, the local vicar, in her back garden. During the investigation, things take a darker turn, and it seems someone is determined their secrets will  stay hidden. Can Gina and the team find them before there are more victims?

Carla Kovach expertly weaves the twists and turns so the reader has no clue until all is revealed. This creates such a tense and gripping experience for me. I can never put a Gina Harte book down once I start. Everything is put on hold, and I won’t stop until I get to the last word! This series is one of the best I have read. So roll on book seventeen!
