In search of a new life, seventeen-year-old Adriana Clark’s family moves to the ancient, ocean-battered Isle of Mull, far off the coast of Scotland. Then she goes missing. Faced with hostile locals and indifferent police, her desperate parents turn to private investigator Sadie Levesque.
Sadie is the best at what she does. But when she finds Adriana’s body in a cliffside cave, a seaweed crown carefully arranged on her head, she knows she’s dealing with something she’s never encountered before.
The deeper she digs into the island’s secrets, the closer danger creeps – and the more urgent her quest to find the killer grows. Because what if Adriana is not the last girl to die?

WOW! What a book! The Last Girl to Die is a book I will be recommending for a very long time. It is filled with mystery and intrigue that hooked me from the start but it is the razor-sharp plotting that makes it a memorable read.
When an American teenager goes missing on the Isle of Mull, her parents hire a Canadian private investigator, Sadie Lavesque. This invasion of foreigners on Mull creates a claustrophobic and tense atmosphere for Sadie as she is faced with the suspicion and mistrust of the islanders. Sadie can't count on the local police to help her and things only get worse for her when she finds a body...and then another...
I cannot even begin to tell you how good this book is and no review I write will go anywhere near to doing it justice. It's a book that you just have to read and experience for yourself. Helen Fields intricately weaves mysteries and folklore of ancient Mull into this gripping and atmospheric thriller making it a completely unforgettable novel.
Shocking, disturbing and jawdropping, The Last Girl to Die is an impressive and completely haunting thriller. Helen Fields is my newly crowned Queen of Twists and I felt like my brain had gone 12 rounds in the boxing ring as the twists and shocks pummelled me from all angles. Very highly recommended - don't miss this one!
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
