Description

ONE LAST STEP (A Tara Mills Mystery—Book One) is the debut novel in a new FBI mystery series by debut author Sarah Sutton.

Two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone’s porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the local police realize they have a serial killer on their hands––and need to call in the FBI.

FBI Agent Tara Mills is young, brilliant and new to the force. With a promising career in front of her, she faces the ultimate test when she is assigned the case. It soon proves to be more challenging than she ever could have imagined––an impossible riddle that leaves even her seasoned partner stumped.

Meanwhile, something about the case stirs a darkness within her––a tortured past that even her long-term boyfriend doesn’t fully understand. As nightmares consume her, she only hopes that her past will not come back to ruin her once again.

As more hikers go missing, and with her job on the line, Tara finds herself on a race against time as she combs through the forest’s trails. Peeling back each layer, she soon realizes that she is up against a true diabolical mastermind. And just when she thinks she has it all figured out, her instincts lead her to the most shocking truth of all.

Book #2 in the series––ONE LAST BREATH––is also now available!

    Little dragging at times but a ok story. And yes there was the glitch about the phone being smashed then getting a personal call on it. Big Oops 5 23 2024

    Quick amusing read. Lacks the character development and research that mysteries 10 years ago did and cringeworthy at times but fair enough for a bargain.

    I enjoyed this thriller very much. It definitely had a fast pace with good character development. The one thing that puzzled me was when the author had the FBI leaving before they found the people taken.

    Tedious. So many pages to say one paragraph. I don’t know about this author but I’d guess they are very very young. As for the characters, neurosis comes to mind which doesn’t ring so true for an fbi agent. Neither had much going for them personality wise or other. I skipped through more pages than I read.
  • Good fast read

    Good flow with many twists. A little disappointing during the climax. Too many bad decisions made. Once through window jump on the gun. Shoot the villain and his mom.

    Love the cat & mouse suspense in this book. The characters were great too. I had to continue to read more of it & couldn’t stop. Highly recommend to add to your reading list.
