"In this circuitous mystery, the lives of a widow with a shadowy
past, her charming male tenant, a woman desperate to escape her
loveless marriage and a travel writer with anger issues intersect
and explode into more than one shocking ending. Delightfully
creepy." -- People"John Searles' latest thriller is a winner: tense
and terrifying with a twist you'll never see coming. You won't soon
forget these characters and the shocking ways their lives
intersect." -- Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Last Thing He Told Me"Love and revenge commingle until it's
almost impossible to tell one from the other in the fascinating,
character-driven Her Last Affair. As in his previous three novels,
John Searles's low-boil plot hinges on slowly but forcefully
building suspense, while subtly dropping clues to the characters'
psychological makeup. ... Insightful." -- Shelf Awareness"A tense,
intricately woven tale of heartbreak, retribution, and redemption.
Lisa Jewell fans will be well satisfied." -- Publishers Weekly"In
this inventive, deftly woven novel, John Searles conjures a world
populated by eccentrics and dreamers who are desperate for a second
chance and willing to do almost anything to get it. Genre-bending,
cinematic, and darkly funny, Her Last Affair ends with a series of
shocking twists that will leave you breathless."
-- Christina Baker Kline"John Searles brings the misfits among us
to life with the clarity of Carson McCullers--and then scares us
with the brilliance of Stephen King. Her Last Affair is a perfect,
page-turning example of the heart and horror that makes me love his
work so very, very much." -- Chris Bohjalian, #1 bestselling author
of The Flight Attendant and Hour of the Witch"Her Last Affair is
filled with wry humor and compassion even as the novel sweeps the
reader from charm and romance to the depths of dark suspense. I was
captivated from the first page and watched with awe as Searles wove
the three storylines into a single, heart-pounding climax.
Devastating, and yet at the same time, utterly romantic." -- Jean
Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in
Translation"Satisfying...A twisted thriller that explores despair
and loneliness with cinematic flair." -- Kirkus Reviews"Searles is
the master of slow burn and intricate plot building." -- Library
Journal"How Searles weaves the stories of these fascinating,
lovelorn characters together is nothing short of brilliant. . . .
Her Last Affair is a book that builds the suspense with each turn
of the page. The twist that Searles throws in will have you
gasping." -- Auburn Citizen"This story had so many twists and
turns, it kept me guessing until the very last page." -- First for
Women"Eerie and captivating." -- Woman's World"An intensely
compelling book of suspense. ... Treat yourself, read this novel!
It has odd, fascinating characters, many surprises and enough
chills to keep one on edge. Searles is a master of suspense and
delivers a bombshell with Her Last Affair. Mystery and
psychological thriller readers and book discussion groups will find
plenty to talk about." -- BookTrib"All of these characters will
meet in the final third of the novel, and it will be explosive.
There is also a completely unexpected twist that is absolutely
brilliant. The finale takes a sharp turn into a much darker place,
and the ending is a satisfying one. I was not familiar with John
Searles' work before, but he has won me over and found himself a
faithful new reader." -- Bookreporter.com
