Famous Last Words – Gillian McAllister

Seven years after a hostage crisis goes bad, two lives, the hostage taker’s wife and the hostage negotiator, remain stuck.  Both trying to move on, but stuck in the past and on the spouse each lost that day.  When the case becomes active once again, the negotiator finds clues that were hidden from him years earlier, finding that the events of that day were not quite what they seemed.

Gillian McAllister returns with her latest, Famous Last Words.  Here she wraps two love stories in mystery, showing how a single event can break apart the lives of those involved in different yet similar ways.  Given my enjoyment of her most recent works, I keep threatening to dive into her back catalog and this time I might actually do it.
