Her Last Breath - Book Review
Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams is a chlaustrophobic mystery thriller following a woman who was found deep inside a cave trapped by a cave in... fighting for her last breath.
But how did she get down there? How did she become trapped? Follow along with this dual timeline suspense-filled thriller that will have you short of breath.
I had the pleasure of receiving an early audio copy of this thanks to Libro.fm and I really enjoyed it. The atmospheric tones were enjoyable throughout although I found it somewhat predictable. This may be just because I'm a seasoned thriller reader at this point or I just got lucky (...or unlucky depending on how you see it) but nonetheless, I enjoyed this and would definitely recommend 'Her Last Breath' to thriller lovers that love a suspense filled atmospheric mystery with dual timeline and decriptive writing.
I'm extremely partial to a good thriller when working on orders in the office so when I saw this I thought to myself... why not eh. This was the first i've listened to by this author so I can't comment on any previous work but I found it such an easy and interesting listen. While I wouldn't class myself as Chlaustrophobic, I don't like feeling enclosed or trapped so this really got my heart going at times.
Overall I rated this a 3.5 / 5
Blurb:
After years of excuses, Tess has finally agreed to go caving with her best friend Allie. Their lives have diverged sharply since high school—Allie is a self-made travel influencer, while Tess is a shy (and claustrophobic) legal assistant struggling to pay for law school. Maybe she’s a little jealous of Allie's globe-trotting life. Who wouldn’t be?
As Tess and Allie descend into the depths, they realize they’re not alone. A stranger who claims to be a fellow caver harasses them. Confident, take-no-shit Allie insults the guy—and he retaliates. Soon, Tess is trapped inside a narrow crawl space hundreds of feet underground, fighting to stay alive.
Twenty-four hours later, as a hospitalized Tess recounts her harrowing story of survival, the detective interviewing her shares new and shocking secrets about Allie's true past. Together, they begin to suspect the brutal attack wasn’t so random after all.
Who was Allie, really? Why did this man target them? And did Tess really leave the danger behind when she escaped the cave?
