I just discovered Mariah Stewart a few months ago and I really like her books. They are kind of dark, and definitely twisted, but she is such a good writer and the stories are so interesting. I never know who the bad guy is until the end, usually it surprises me (which I love, it irritates me when I am able to guess the bad guy at the beginning of the book). She doesn't have very strong language (awesome) and I guess she is considered Romantic Suspense, but the love story part of her books te...more
A prostitute shows up among the shorelines of Georgia. She has been dead for about 8 hours. How can this happen? This is the twist in the book. She has been declared dead for 24 years.
Shannon is just 14 when her disappearance is noticed. Several classmates notice that she is riding inthe car of boy who has a crush on her. That's the last time that any of her friends see her.
The boy is put on trial, convicted and later executed. There are 2 questions to con...more

Good murder mystery with an unusual plot line. A woman thought murdered 24 years ago now turns up dead for real. The person convicted of her murder in the original case has been executed. Two FBI agents try to solve both the original case and the current one. The story takes place near Savannah, GA and the two agents have dinner one evening at the Crab Shack on Tybee Island. I've been there and the food is very good and served in copious amounts.
Dorsey Collins, FBI agent and daughter of infamous FBI agent, Matt Raneiri, who solved the crime now coming back into the spotlight. 24 years ago, Matt arrested Eric Beale for the murder of Shannon Randall though no body was ever found. Now the body of Shannon has surfaced, only 8 hours old. Dorsey is tasked with FBI agent Andrew Shields to investigate Shannon's disappearance 24 years ago. Why she disappeared and how? Where she's been? What tragedy caused her to flee her home? And, the big q...more

This is a real page turner and head scratcher. The characters are unique and the plot draws the reader in. The love of a father and daughter are tested along with other familial bonds. How far does unconditional love last? How long does it take to heal deep emotional wounds? And more importantly who the heck killed this hooker and what happened so long ago? I suggest you pick it up and start reading to find out.
A body is found and turns out to be the body of someone who they thought had died 24 years ago, but the body was fresh. Someone was executed for the "crime" 24 years ago, based on circumstantial evidence and no body. Now the FBI needed to find out how and why that happened long ago as well as who killed this person now. I found the book hard to put down; continual suspense.
FBI AGENTS ANDREW SHIELDS AND DORSEY COLLINS SOLVE A 24 YEAR OLD MURDER WHERE THE VICTIM WAS FOUND RECENTLY DECEASED. I LIKE THE WRITING OF THIS AUTHOR.
Dull read. Didn't feel conected to the charcters. Somewhat confusing and unrealistic. Basically I had nothing else in the house to raed at the time.
A good read. I liked her character voices, plot was a little predictible, romance was subdued (I'm not a romance fan). I will most likely read the next one.
As with all of her books that I've read so far, she is consistently good. Some of hers have been better than this, but none have disappointed me.
Andrew Shields, brother of agent Mia Shields, returns to duty and works a case of a woman who died twenty years after she was murdered.
engaging plot, characters and decent writing. not one I would say rush out and read but if you happened upon it I would say read it.
Fast moving suspense novel. It is a novel of regret and intrigue spun in an entertaining and page turning manner.
Not my favorite--the whole book was interviews. The FBI agent and his friend and each chapter had a new person to interview which got really old.

This was a good mystery that kept me in suspense until the end. There was a lot of mundane descriptions and that is why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, the book held my interest and I learned to jump over lengthy descriptions, recapping and how they held a piece of pizza in their hand during dinner. I do recommend this mystery.
Really enjoy this series.
I found a new author I have never read and enjoyed immensely. This is a great suspense story with a lot of twists and storylines which make it very interesting. I figured out parts of it before I was finished; but I was not disappointed in the end.
The FBI is forced to re-examine a case closed 24 years earlier with the conviction and execution of a murderer when the victim's body finally turns up--24 years older than when it was assumed she died. Oye, the PR nighmare!
Mariah Stewart so totally hits her stride in Last Look. She leaves all her other books in the dust. The ending was a major jaw dropper. One I never expected.
Pretty good... everything ends very neat and tidy though. Kept my interest though, wasn't too complicated or too boring.
Although a decent read, I would not search out this author again. Light and suspenseful.
"Well, however you phrased it, she didn't care for it one bit."
Well written, James Patterson quality book
