3/5 Stars This book has the potential to be a great thriller read. However, the way it was written really takes the “surprise” out of any of the twists. The beginning of the book, in chapter one, I felt the ex husband’s reaction was off putting and it seemed like it didn’t fit with the actions he was performing. I spent a lot of time reading the book and not being able to truly connect with what was going on in the book. The concept of the book had the potential to really be a great read but I feel like it wasn’t executed correctly.

The Last Cabin Girl is a thrilling mystery with several twists and turns that will keep you hooked from the very beginning. Josie is a struggling mother that’s just trying to get her and her kids out of a small town and as far away from her abusive ex husband as possible. Unfortunately before she can do that she is accused of murder and now she must prove her innocence. Along the way she will uncover secrets and discover she may not have known everything about this town that she thought she did. Also during this time the covid virus is starting to appear and we get an interesting look into things from the very beginning of the virus. Great read and would highly recommend.

This is my first read by this author, but I don’t think it’ll be my last! This was action-packed from the very beginning and keeps that pace all the way through, with unpredictable twist and turns.
The author does a wonderful job putting together a story by fully developing the world, characters, and the details with each event. I enjoyed the intertwining of current events (COVID) that enhanced parts of the story to be more relevant and enjoyed the underlying mystery throughout the book. It definitely keeps the readers attention and is difficult to put down!
Josie, through events both past and present, finds herself in the middle of mystery that threatens her life. She knows if she doesn’t solve it, her life as she knows it, may be over! I don’t want to ruin anything, so just do yourself a favor and read it!

Josie is a soon to be divorced mother of two pretty sweet kids. Eddie is her soon-to-be ex-husband who is a narcissitic psychopath of a medical doctor turned drug dealer. Josie lives in a cabin that she bought from her parents….or are they?? She loves her little cabin and will do everything she can to protect herself and the kids from Eddie. He’s terrified of the cabin after all so as long as they are there, they’re safe. Word starts to make rounds of a horrible virus infecting the people of China. It’s making it’s way to New York and Josie starts to panic. It’s not the first time she’s panicked over something though. She saw a pink body floating in the river when she was 12 and has never been able to get over it. She saw another one just a few weeks ago but she’s not calling the authorities just yet. Did she really see it or did she just think she did? Travis starts coming into the diner where Josie works and offers to pay her a large sum of money to show him around town. She can really use the money, especially if the diner is to close with a pandemic looming. Things start to warm up between her and Travis and then she learns how much she can lean on him. Can he help her to get Eddie out of her life?
This book is full of twists and turns and really kept me engaged. I read this book in a relatively short period of time because it sucked me in and wouldn’t let go! This is my first read by Tom Swyers but I’ve already started looking into other titles! Be prepared to gasp….I did a few times. That’s rare for me too!! I do hope there is more to this story as I’d like to hear more about Jack and Tracy. I think there is definitely a story there for them that could be expounded on! Please read this one and let me know what YOU think!! Also, recommend more books like this one for me! I appreciate that it’s a psychothriller without all the bad language that you often read!

The Last Cabin Girl is a wonderful book written by Tom Swyers. It is full of suspense and a must read psychological thriller. The reader will be sitting on the edge of their seat, just like this reviewer was! It is very relatable as it coincides with the pandemic happening in real life. It is a story about a woman who has seen a “pink body” on more than one occasion. Did she do it? Who can she trust? What is going on?! There are so many twists and turns, which make it fun and hard to put down. Highly recommend!

This book was incredibly written and I could not put it down. The author absolutely hit this one out of the park!
The story’s main character, Josie Thompson is an intriguing character struggling to stay under the radar and away from her abusive and unhinged husband. Josie lives a low-key life in a beautiful cabin by the lake, while taking care of her two children, keeping a keen eye open for any evidence her ex may be lingering about and working as often as possible in a dead-end job as a waitress. She has eyes of a hawk and is constantly watching for unknown vehicles trailing behind her on her drive to and from home/work, strange destitute residents lingering outside the diner, or any evidence on Twitter that will pinpoint a possible location for her ex, so they can finalize their divorce.
Josie is stronger than most adults, especially with her history and upbringing, although I do not think she truly recognizes that strength until much later in the story. I enjoyed watching her relationship with her brother David go from almost non-existent and strained to something much improved by the book’s end.
I enjoyed the twists and turns in this thriller and liked that it was not predictable. The author did a fabulous job creating the characters for this book and building on the intensity by adding in the pandemic into the storyline. Overall, this was a quick read since I did not want to put this book down. The suspense continued to push me to keep reading chapter after chapter into the wee hours of the night.
I think all mystery lovers will enjoy this book and the series. I cannot wait to read whatever comes next.

It is very rare for me to give a book a 5 star review and really wish I could have given it more! This book was by far one of my favorite reads so far for 2022! From the first chapter to the last page turn, I was so excited to keep reading! I devoured this book and kept wanting more! I can’t wait to read other works By this author. This thrilled has so many twists and turns I can not recommend it enough.

A sleepy Nebraskan town with a top secret lab that holds federal contracts and a mysterious history tied to the river it’s situated upon sets the backdrop to this haunting tale. Josie seems to face impossible odds as she battles to protect her kids from her abusive drug dealing doctor of a soon-to-be ex husband, tries to unravel the family secrets that only she seems to not be in on, uncover the truth of the mysterious deaths surrounding her, and battle her own mental struggles as she navigates through a pandemic that no one else seems to seriously consider. This is a thrilling, dark, twisty tale that wasn’t as predictable as I first suspected. The author creates just the right amount of tension and suspense through to the shocking end.

This book is an undeniable thrill to read, so much so that 5 stars just doesn’t seem to do it justice! This one kept me guessing until the very end with so many twists and turns that it might make you dizzy. The plot is amazing and the author seamlessly combined the growing Covid19 pandemic that happened in 2020 into this gripping thrill ride. That kind of takes me back to dealing with the pandemic, shortages, and fear that was ever present!
Josie who is dealing with a terrible not quite ex husband named Eddie, her past discovery of a pink body, and growing concerns of a rising pandemic that everyone in the US is downplaying. As if that’s not enough she discovers a body floating in the river near her cabin, and she becomes a prime murder suspect. After multiple victims surface, Josie is arrested for the murders and is released on bond secured by her cabin and help from a wealthy bachelor who seems taken with Josie. Unfortunately for Josie things just aren’t adding up and she knows if she can find Eddie she’ll be free from murder charges and be rid of her ex. Only the more she finds the more secrets are unraveled. It seems everybody she meets is keeping some sort of secret from her. Can Josie come out on the other side after all these secrets are uncovered? Or is the past doomed to repeat itself and more bodies pile up?
Overall, I did not see where the author was going with this story until close to the very end. The range of emotions you go through while reading this book are immense. Some characters you start out loving only to hate them later on and vice versa. This is a dynamic book that I will recommend to all avid readers that enjoy thrillers. It makes you want to keep coming back until the story is finished and all the secrets are unraveled. Secrets are a terrible thing to keep and sometimes an even terrible thing to overcome!

What a thrilling read! I love a good mystery and this is just what I needed. Josie is a waitress and mom who is living in her family’s cabin. She thinks she is safe until bodies start appearing and she is charged with a murder. Josie doesn’t know who to trust, if she can even trust anyone at all. It seems like everyone is keeping something from her. This book took me on a wild ride from start to finish. I love that you are hit with twists and turns, and left mind blown by the end. It was impossible to put the book down until it was finished. A must read if you love psychological thrillers!

Wow! At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book but from the beginning I was hooked. It is well written, suspenseful and even when you think you know what is about to happen there is a turn! While I wish there wasn’t so much “pandemic” talk its truly a time period we all lived through which made it so very relevant! The good outweighed the bad drastically and it showed by how well the author could keep the readers attention!

This was an interesting read. I don’t read too many thrillers, but the synopsis of this one caught my attention. Josie is a single mother of two children trying to get a divorce from her husband. He was into illegal activities among other things and she was more than ready to move on. When a body shows up a few miles down river from her property she becomes a prime suspect. In a place where everyone seems to know more about her than she does herself, who can she trust? Will she be able to clear her name by investigating and finding her own evidence? Will she be able to find the real killer?

This is a story about Josie, a single mom, who is trying to move on from her abusive husband. She’s also trying to figure out the big family secret that her whole family knows but won’t tell her. She is charged with murder of a body floating down the river that flows close to her cabin. She is suspected of other deaths, and could soon be charged with them as well. Josie has to prove her innocence, but she’s leery about who she can trust. This was a great thriller, packed with lots of twists and turns that keep you on your toes, and guessing what’s going to happen next.

This book was a wild rollercoaster ride! Between some serious fear, some incredible courage, and a will to prove herself there was plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat! I really enjoyed this book and found myself emotional in a few moments where I truly related as a victim of DV. This book had a great balance between hurt and hope and it was easy to follow. A first for me from this author but interested to read more from them! Really worth a read!!

The Last Cabin Girl (Detective Josie Thompson Series) by Tom Swyers. This is my absolute favorite type of book. I loved it sooo much. I can’t wait to read more by this author. This story is about Josie who has finally left her abusive husband with her two kids. She wants nothing more than to leave the small town she’s lived in her whole life and start over but she can’t. Seems like dead bodies are being found in the river behind her cabin a lot! When she found a dead body in the same river when she was in middle school and the body was never found its kind of hard for people to believe her now. When she gets up the nerve to tell the police they arrest her as a suspect for murder! What in the world will she do now? This book is so fast paced and talks about fear of COVID, bullies and a serial killer! Such a good read!

This is a well thought out and captivating book that caught my attention right from the start. I found myself easily pulled into the story and wanted to find out what was going on. I was a little reticent about reading the book at first, given the overt references to Covid-19. However it did not effect the book at all. It was well developed and intriguing. I wanted to know what was going on and how things would turn out. This really is a great book that I would recommend.

This was an interesting read! It wasn’t my type of book though. While I like some thrillers, it’s not my favorite genre. But the synopsis sounded so good I wanted to give it a try! And while I did enjoy it, it just didn’t capture and hold me like I was hoping it would. It had a very intriguing plot, and this is honestly the first book I’ve read since 2020 that has even mentioned the pandemic, so that was a big attention grabber to me. I think I just had an off reading day, and I can’t wait to go back in the future and give this one another chance!

The Last Cabin Girl (Detective Josie Thompson Series) by Tom Swyers – Review by Dessalynn Acosta 4 out of 5 stars
Josie is a single mom, working during the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic. She is fighting to stay afloat, protect her children, and continue to avoid her estranged ex husband, while still keeping everyone healthy. After a myriad of deaths and cryptic events happen, Josie is suspected by the FBI as a serial killer. Was she really having psychotic episodes? Could she really be a murderer? In this thriller, Josie does not know who to trust; her family, law enforcement, a rich, mysterious bachelor? Very interesting plot twists, all the way through to the end.

A very fast read, and one that you will want to read cover to cover in one sitting. Josie has filed divorce from her abusive husband and having a hard time with life in general. Things are not made any easier since she was also bullied throughout her school days, and now comes the Pandemic. Secrets are being kept, and things are hush hush when Josie discovers a body in the river near her home. But, this is not the first time she has had this happen. In fact, that was the source of her bullying throughout school. You see, Josie reported a body in a river in middle school. A body that was never found. Now things look a little bit suspicious, as finding TWO bodies is not exactly common. Who can she trust? Is it coincidence that she has found two bodies? Are they related? If so, who is involved, and why? And why is she the target and interest for something she has nothing to do with? All are questions that will be answered! I really enjoyed the way you can easily relate (as a reader) to the main character as she is thrown into the Covid 19 uncertainty, among her already deteriorating life. I loved Josie’s resiliency and ability to take things on at face value, even when the cards were stacked against her. I loved this one, and will surely be seeking out more from this author.

This psychological thriller was a unique read for me for two main reasons. The first is that it takes place during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is fascinating how fictional it all sounds until you remember that we just survived these exact feelings, worries, thoughts, opinions, and events. I think it will be interesting to see more books written like this. I felt like I could connect the people in my life with the various reactions that the characters in the book had. The second reason is that the ending was very different from what I was expecting. I can usually solve a book before the ending, but this one threw me unexpectedly. I had a lot of it figured out, but the one piece that changed everything. I love books like that because then I want to reread it to look for clues that I might have missed.

Wow! This book is intense and so very suspenseful. I started this book last night and had to stay up all night reading because it was just that good. The story begins with some back story as to how it came to be. You are scooped up and tossed in, never to be seen until the last page. There is action, mystery, suspense and thrills. The twists are many. So many questions and every time you think you may know the answer; you may want to rethink. The author did a wonderful job of writing an engaging story that pulls the reader in to feel like they are one of the detectives also. The characters are so intense in their own manner and characteristics. This story was so good that I have to buy a copy of the book in paper so I can have my husband read it. He loves these kinds of books. This is a new author for me and I hope to read more. I truly wish I could give him more than 5 stars. I highly recommend this to all mystery/thriller/suspense lovers.

Twists and turns that had me guessing This was an unpredictable psychological thriller. The author weaved a story that was deep and cleverly layered. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride as the story climaxed and sped down the other side several times. The characters were well developed and as the story unfolded the events were clearly detailed. Based in the early days of the pandemic the author diligently communicates the real life struggles associated with the virus alongside the main storyline. A very worthy read.

Oh …..my …., word !!!!! There were so many goosebumps and not enough space on my body 🤣that says a lot because I’m not a small girl !!!
This was my first Tom Sayers and it MOST DEFINITELY won’t be my last! He has this way of hooking you up and reeling you in and you just hand on every literal word ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So Josie is a mother of 2 , divorcing her narcissistic drug dealing abusive husband and he’s really not a nice man so just to add to her woes is a pandemic and a murder charge ! Sheez Louise cut the girl a break ….
Ok so the town and its folk are not what they seem and I feel so many emotions for poor Josie and time is of the essence because she has her kids to protect ….
Very relatable regarding Covid 19 and peoples reactions , opinions and fears . A gripping twisted read with unexpected end … a definite TBR ( to be recommended)

The Last Cabin Girl was full of suspense literally from the first page! I love when a book sucks you in at the very beginning and doesn’t let go until you’ve devoured every last page. I read a LOT of thrillers and the author was able to keep my attention the entire time! There were so many twists and turns that I didn’t expect, I flew through this book in one day. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I am going back for the other three right this instant! If you love domestic suspense, definitely add this one to your TBR pile.
