One Last Breath (Tara Mills Mystery #2) 

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

One Last Step begins with a woman running for her life and ultimately speared in her back by an arrow! If that’s not enough of a shock to quell your curious then I don’t what is.

Having read several novels based around the Appalachian trail, I did anticipate some oddities.
This story focuses on the northern part of the Appalachian Trail near Hanover, New Hampshire. In this first book of the Tara Mills series, an FBI investigation begins when several people go missing and eventually found dead strategically placed along the outskirts of the National Forest.

Tara Mills is a newbie FBI agent who gets paired up with veteran agent Warren. They both wondered how this unlikely match would work given Tara’s impulse to follow her intuition over protocol. The killer narrating part of the story helps give you insight into who might be capable of such horrendous behavior. Ultimately, Tara goes rouge which puts her in extreme danger. This story wraps up nicely but does set the stage for more adventures for this novice detective.
