Publisher's description
A violent and horrific incident forces a young woman to go into hiding, at the peak of her career as lead singer of an indie pop band. Years later, strange things start to happen and it becomes clear that some know who she is…
At the peak of her career as lead singer of a legendary 1980s indie band, Meredith Vincent was driven off the international stage by a horrific incident. Now living a quiet existence in a cottage on the grounds of an old stately home, she has put her past behind her and come to terms with her new life.
When a body is found in the manicured gardens of her home, and a series of inexplicable and unsettling events begins to occur, it becomes clear that someone is watching, someone who knows who she is … Someone who wants vengeance.
And this is only the beginning…
The Last Stage is a twisty psychological thriller - a tale of revenge, identity and disturbing pasts.
Ex-singer Meredith Vincent has a 'past' she's been trying to hide, something that she's kept to herself for years while living a quiet life away from the crowds. But now her past is beginning to catch up with her - or rather, someone is trying to catch up with her and they're not looking for a sentimental reunion.
The psychological thriller market is saturated, so it's always a bonus to find a book that offers more than the rest of the crowd. I raced through this one, with its cosy crime feel, twisty thriller plot and quaint British setting.
The book is filled with an abundance of vibrant, memorable, larger-than-life characters, in the past and present, and I loved the descriptions of the old stately home, cottage garden and canal boats. I can imagine author Louise Voss having as much fun writing this book as I had reading it (despite the darkness behind it).
The Last Stage contains a murder mystery to solve and secrets to reveal. There's even some history in there too. It's funny, smart and highly entertaining!
