Un dernier baiser

by Kelman Judith, Dominique Mainard (Translator)

405pages. poche. broché. Théa Harper aimerait se réveiller de ce cauchemar. Après avoir été jugée pour le meurtre de son amant et déclarée irresponsable, elle n'arrive pas à reprendre une vie normale, en dépit du suivi psychiatrique dont elle fait l'objet. Comment, en effet, renouer avec le quotidien quand de nombreux meurtres sont commis dans son entourage. Surtout lorsque certains indices lui laissent à penser qu'elle a pu en être l'auteur dans les moments d'absence auxquels elle reste sujette. Les rebondissements de l'intrigue et son dénouement inattendu tiendront l'amateur de suspense en haleine et le lecteur cinéphile retrouvera dans ce thriller un rythme et des personnages dignes de Hitchcock dont rien n'assure décidément qu'ils pourront échapper à la psychose du dédoublement. -Madeleine Sorel

Reviews

It was the novel, the house on the hill, that first captured my interest in Judith Kelman. I then read If I should die and now one last kiss. Instead of commenting solely on this novel, I will instead comment on Judith Kelman and her writing style. I would not say captivating is the right word to use. Judith is a pleasant writer. Her novels are above average, and her charactisation is good. It has become clear that over 3 books she has a routined pace with a rushed feeling towards the end of her novels. If you wish to read a basic 'who done it' mystery then this is for you. You don't have to be a genius to work out the plot, but her books are a pleasant read. If you are after a dark, intence read, look elsewhere. Judith writes from the heart and she is an above average novelist. I am getting the impression all her books will bevery similar in pace and structure. I will read one more to see if i'm right. I have been wrong before!

2.35⭐️ to be exact.

I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. It's as if every one of them annoyed me. There were some scenarios that I honestly didn't see a reason why they were included.

When I pick is book up, I don't think I would like but I surpised much I enjoyed it but I don't love it. Both the writing and paced of plot was okay but the plot nedded to flash out more. The cover of book was ugly. The chraters needed to be flash out more but I like daughter and mother relationship between Thea and her daughter.

Amazing book

[Cassandra Glissadevil]

3.5 stars Serial killer, suspense, who done it?
Thought I was purchasing a horror novel, got a nail biter, of a murder mystery instead. Fun read.

[Mark Braun]

Rather abrupt shift in plot towards the end, but believable.

[Paula]

The story was good but I didn't think the writing was great. The author used some annoying language and left some things up in the air. Since this is a first time author for me, I will give her another try.

[Aiko]

Made for a satisfying thriller, but the twist failed. Not much guesswork required to guess the villain.
