A fabulous follow up to RITA Winner ONE SCREAM AWAY, LAST TO DIE follows Sergeant Danielle Cole as she tries to figure out who is killing young prostitutes and former prostitutes in Lancaster, Maryland. Early on in the case she is confronted by her first love, Mitch Sheridan, who is now a celebrated photojournalist whose mentor is somehow involved in the murders. Brady does a great job of blending a credible romance between Mitch and Dani with their quest to find the killer. Her prose is edgy and often lovely despite the dark subject matter. And her ability to create three dimensional characters is impressive given this is only her second published novel. If you are a fan of Karen Rose’s intricately plotted romantic suspense, then I think you’ll have no trouble getting hooked on Kate Brady. My only disappointment is that there’s no long backlist for me to glom.
