The Last Cabin Girl (Detective Josie Thompson Series) by Tom Swyers – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Last Cabin Girl by Tom Swyers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this gripping crime thriller which had me hooked from start to finish. Set just as the pandemic begins, struggling waitress and Mum of two Josie Thompson, wants a fresh start away from her abusive husband, and from the small town she lives in, but she’s not going anywhere. Josie is charged by the FBI for murder after victims turn up in the river near her isolated cabin, and the FBI think she’s the serial killer. Whilst let out on bond, and knowing that if she’s convicted she will face a life in prison, she is determined to prove her innocence. However, a growing fear of the Covid virus and her family’s long held secret, that they refuses to disclose are just two of many obstacles in her way. As Josie tries to clear her name she realises that not everything in the town is what it seems and that she cannot trust everyone. The storyline and plot twists had me happily turning the pages late into the night, unable to put the book down. The suspense built throughout the story and the twists kept me guessing until the end. A real page turner of a novel and one which I definitely recommend.
