The Last Child: A Novel Audiobook

" Another good mystery by John Hart. A story not just mystery but relationships as well. "

" There is some rough language in it, but I really like the book. Couldn't put it down. "

" What a great book.... there were times when I couldn't stop reading it! Stories like this don't come often.... Definitely a keeper on my bookshelf! "

" Hart is a fine, fine writer "

" i loved it! It was a great read. Towards the end, i never would've seen it coming. "

" I don't give five stars very often but this book was so intriguing, so full of twists and turns, great characters that I just had to give it 5. Just when you thought the mystery was about to be solved, another element is introduced. It's hard to put down. Don't read late at night unless you don't care to sleep. I look forward reading more John Hart novels. "

" On the whole, it was ok. Very slow start though. I don't think it needed to be anywhere near as long as it was, but it kept me intrigued enough to keep going. The last 60 pages or so were great, it just took SO LONG to get there. "

" In the vein of Grisham and other "thriller" writers. Interesting setting - NC - very familiar culture and setting. "

" Ahh, a new author! Good mystery; engaging characters; came together beautifully. Just downloaded another of his, and can't wait to get at it. "

" Great read. I enjoyed everything about this otherwise morbid story. Although the result should be sad, that is not the feeling you are left with. Very entertaining. "

" This was a book club selection that I did not think I would read because of the story content. However, I absolutely enjoyed the book and found the story to be very well written, in spite of the content. A lot of twists that I did not expect. "

" I liked the writing style. It felt elemental and rich at the same time. Storyline was part mystery, part human character assessment. I was constantly reading fast because of the mystery, then slowing down and rereading sections because I liked the prose. "

" Excellent book with lots of twists to the story line that kept me wondering. I will probably read more books written by John Hart. "

" A total page turner and if you think you know who done it, think again. The "good" characters are very human, sympathetically drawn and flawed. "

" I bought this book from iBooks, on sale, and really didn't expect much. Man, was I surprised! It is very intense, and so well written it's impossible not to feel this little boy's pain. It is not a fun book, and not a light read. It really makes you think and feel, but it is a wonderful read. "

" One of my all-time favorites. One of the reviews said "Lord of the Flies meets Huckleberry Finn" and I thought that was a great description. "

" This one kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through! I have a small gripe about one aspect of the closing chapters, but it's not enough to keep me from giving it high rating. I'll definitely look for more of Hart's books. "

" Could not put this book down until I read the last page. "

" This is the first book I read by John Hart. Excellent writer - excellent book. The young boy was very precocious, keeping you glued to every move he made. "

" Excellent read - starts out slow. Very good distractions from the subtle twists and turns of the mystery. "

" Great book about a boy who just wont give up "

" Fabulous, can't wait to read more from him. "

" Loved it...never saw the ending coming! Lots of twists...one that I could not put down. "

" Read it! You won't be sorry. "

" Another great book by john hart! I originally wanted to read this book following Down River as that book was one of my favorites. I dont think this book is comparable but it is very good in its own way. The book was a quick read for me taking maybe 2 days to finish. "

" A year after the abduction & disappearance of a 12 year old girl, her twin brother and the detective assigned to the case are still looking for her. Then another girl disappears. Great read. ? "

" Good mystery, lots of surprises. It took a little while to get moving, but I wasn't surprised, since that was mentioned in a review that I read. Once it got rolling, though, it was a compelling read. I enjoyed it. "

" This was a great suspense/mystery. I couldn't put it down and have to admit that I was surprised by the ending. "

" Ahh, a new author! Good mystery; engaging characters; came together beautifully. Just downloaded another of his, and can't wait to get at it. "

" This one kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through! I have a small gripe about one aspect of the closing chapters, but it's not enough to keep me from giving it high rating. I'll definitely look for more of Hart's books. "

" gripping, a bit creepy, great characters, slightly unsatisfying ending, but good read. "

" Excellent story. Just when I thought I had figured out who the villian was the story took a turn and my original deduction was way off. Highly recommend this book. "

" A crime/thriller, which is a genre I LOVE. This one had lots of fun twists and turns, creepy characters, and not too much gore. A good one for ANYONE who likes this genre. Looking forward to reading his other books. "

" Great pick Kiersten! I loved it. "

" Fantastic mystery, keeps you guessing until the conclusion. Also is a fast-paced page turner! "

" Thought this was a great book and finished it in a weekend. Loved the ending especially. "

" If anybody wants a great summer read that captures you from page one....this is it! "

" Overall a good book. This was my first time reading this Author. Good mystery that keep me guessing until the end. Complex friendships, loss and forgiveness are all themes in this novel. "
