From Little Stack
After diving into Gillian McAllister’s 2025 novel, I immediately knew it would be one of my top reads of that year!
Imagine waking up one morning to a cryptic note from your husband. Then seeing a breaking news story about a hostage situation in London, and hearing that your husband has been caught up in it. But he’s not a hostage. He’s the gunman.
Famous Last Words is a crime thriller that will constantly keep you guessing, filled with tension and so fiercely gripping from start to finish.
This novel blindsided me with twists and surprises that had me gasping…and with a poignancy about relationships and love that one rarely finds in the genre. A brilliant, brilliant book.
From the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes an addictive thriller about a new mother's world upended when her husband commits a terrifying crime. How well does she truly know the man she loves? And what danger does she face if her entire life has been built on a lie?
It is June 21st, the longest day of the year, and new mother Camilla's life is about to change forever. After months of maternity leave, she will drop her infant daughter off at daycare for the first time and return to her job as a literary agent. Finally. But, when she wakes, her husband Luke isn't there, and in his place is a cryptic note.
Then it starts. Breaking news: there's a hostage situation developing in London. The police arrive, and tell her Luke is involved. But he isn't a hostage. Her husband - doting father, eternal optimist - is the gunman.
What she does next is crucial. Because only she knows what the note he left behind that morning says...
Famous Last Words is the story of a crime, a marriage, and more secrets than Camilla ever could have imagined.
