A woman is left reeling when her former fiancé appears to take his own life, and she becomes desperate to prove it was actually murder—in the latest psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kate White
As Kiki Reed heads out to a party at a friend’s house in the Connecticut countryside, she’s more than a little nervous. Her ex-fiancé Jamie, a great guy who just wasn’t “the one,” will be attending, and she hasn’t seen him since she broke his heart a few months earlier. But when they come face to face, their exchange is brief and pleasant, which is a huge relief.
Then, as the party is winding down, a noise pierces the night. The last few guests run outside to find Jamie inside his car, dead from a gunshot wound.
Shocked and grieving, Kiki learns that the police believe Jamie took his own life, but she knows he was moving on from the breakup and just doesn’t believe it. Determined to find the truth, she searches for any evidence that will get the police to take her seriously. But as she peels away the layers, she uncovers something far more sinister than she’d imagined—and it may be her life on the line next. . .
It’s been four months since Kiki Reed broke her engagement, so the idea of seeing her ex-fiancé at a party is unsettling.
However, Jamie seems to have moved on without holding any grudges. Just as Kiki is leaving the party, a gunshot is heard outside, and Jamie is dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Author Kate White uses this scenario as the foundation for The Last Time She Saw Him. In spite of the police’s conclusion of suicide, Kiki thinks he was murdered. Desperate to prove her theory, Kiki combs through Jamie’s life and unearths some startling secrets that put her own life in jeopardy.
The author skillfully weaves psychological tension throughout the storyline to ensure readers are taken on a roller coaster ride. The characters are multi-faceted, which helps in maintaining the twists and turns leading up to the stunning conclusion.
The Last Time She Saw Him delivers a page-turning psychological thriller featuring a woman determined to find answers.
Kate White, former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, is the New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Strangers and eight other standalone psychological thrillers, as well as eight Bailey Weggins mysteries, including Such a Perfect Wife, which was nominated for an International Thriller Writers Award.
