Final Breath

By: Kevin O'Brien

Narrated by: Stacy Carolan

A Seattle reporter is stalked by a serial killer in this psychological thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of The Bad Sister.

A young Portland couple is brutally murdered in a game gone awry. A Chicago woman plummets to her death from an office building. An aspiring screenwriter is asphyxiated in his New York apartment. At first, the deaths seem random. But then television reporter Sydney Jordan starts receiving macabre souvenirs that hint at a connection—one that is both personal and terrifying.

When her life fell apart in Chicago, Sydney fled to Seattle with her teenage son. But instead of getting a fresh start, Sydney is plagued by strange occurrences. Someone is watching her closely—someone who knows her intimately. She is his chosen one. Every murder is a piece of a twisted puzzle designed for her. Soon, Sydney will understand why each victim had to suffer—and why she's next in line.

Dizzying interwoven characters

I actually figured out early on "who done it". As well as the reason. What I didn't expect was the fantastic weaving of all the characters and the depth of interaction which I'd be drawn into, throughout the narrative. Exceptional level and cohesion of storyline!

Another Great Story!

I Love everything written by Kevin O'Brien. This book, Final Breath, was no exception. Narration was excellent as well!

Not knowing who was good or bad.

Great characterization. I wanted Sydney and Eli to succeed. The killer was hard to figure as far as motive goes.

First book by this author

Very complex story with lots of good narration. I liked not being able to guess who the killer was until the end. I'd definitely like to read a few more from this cat.
