“Megan, you need to call me. Wallace was here. He left a message to say please don’t worry. He’s coming for you soon.” As I hang up the call, my blood runs cold. I’ve spent a lifetime running from this man. But as I look down at his next victim, their face frozen in one final moment of fear, I can’t escape the feeling that I will be next to die.
When the body of Detective Susan Dupont is discovered lying across the dividing line of two counties, Detective Megan Carpenter is immediately called to the scene. When her body is examined they find a sharp piece of metal has been lodged in her eye. A detail that takes Megan back to a deeply-buried memory which she has long been running from.
Twenty-four hours later, retired Detective Riley Denton is found dead at home. His death is deemed a tragic accident. He fell down the stairs and had no enemies. Why would anyone want him dead? But Megan feels sure there is a link to the deaths and there is only one person she can trust with her theory.
Calling in the help of her partner Detective Ronnie Marsh, they start to piece together a link that places Megan right at the centre of a deadly plot. As they race to find the killer before they strike closer to home, a string of murder victims going back years starts to emerge. And when Megan discovers how the murders are linked, she has to finally accept a dark truth she has spent her life running from.
A killer from her past is back just like they promised and they will stop at nothing to take everything she loves. Can Megan stop them dead in their tracks or will she pay the ultimate price?
A totally addictive mystery thriller that will have you racing to the end, from a number one, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Michael Connelly and James Patterson.

First, I want to thank Gregg Olsen, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Ohh how I have missed Gregg Olsen’s Detective Megan Carpenter’s Series! I have been a huge fan of the series since his first book came out. Even though I am sad to learn The Final Victim is Gregg’s last in the series-he saved the best twists for last.
If you have not read any of Gregg’s Detective Megan Carpenter’s series I highly suggest you do because they are each amazing stories! However, you could read it as a standalone. I say this because Gregg refreshes the reader of the ups and downs of Megan’s past and how it has shaped the woman she has become now.
Megan’s stalker Wallace brought out all the mysterious twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my comfy chair, wide eyed, and glued to my kindle.
This was a twisted must read book that you have to add to your TBR list.
