I LOVE Mary Burton!!!! She never let's us readers down.

Kate and Theo are an awesome team. All of the characters and secondary characters are interwoven perfectly.

If you love thrillers with the FBI and cops hot on the trail of murderers, than your in for an awesome adventure. There is murder, revenge, cunning, planning, unexpected twists and turns and just when you think you've got it figured out....BAM, your in for a surprise.

If your all about hot dirty sex than move on, but if your in it for a great story with great characters, and just the right amount of romance than grab this book.

This is a standalone book, so grab it, get your drink and snack, and sit back and get ready for heart pounding, unputdownable, page turning, thriller.

I truly hope these characters turn up again in more Mary Burton books.

A fast paced suspense with lots of twists and turns in this latest thriller from Mary Burton. FBI agent Kate Hayden finds herself playing a deadly game of chess with a killer who fractured her life and family 17 years ago. Each murder he carries out is intentional and strategic, and he never waste a move. When he teams up with another serial killer who has a beef with Kate the game turns even more deadly. With a great cast of characters and twisted killers this page turner never disappoints.

Loved this!!!! I received an advanced copy of this in the reviewers circle and I'm very grateful I enjoyed this very much!
The story is based around FBI Agent Kate Hayden, who is called to a murder which looks to be a copycat of serial killer she has already put behind bars.... or is it? I really liked Kate's character she is cool, and different to other female characters and her partnership with Detective Mazur is brilliant! Two peas in a pod, if you like. Similar in the way neither fit in but also different. Fast paced and plenty of twists which is just the way I like books to be, this story kept me gripped right until the end. I always enjoy Mary's books and this one hasn't disappointed. Wish I could give Kate a ring to see what she's up to now!

Another excellent book by Mary Burton. Great suspense. An FBI profiler searches for two serial killers, one of whom shot and killed her father 17 years before. Another great page turner that totally captures the reader's interest. Thanks to NetGalley and Mary Burton for the privilege to read and review this book.

Really liked the book. There were no lulls in the story and the plot twist was ingenious. If you like Prey novels, you will like The Last Move.

Full review to be published online in late September.

THE LAST MOVE is yet another serial killer, and yet another female FBI agent who has a tragic past for the serial killer to feed into and torment. The big question is whether the serial killer is the Samaritan; or a copycat murderer come to haunt Kate Hayden. Then there is the obligatory romance with the local detective, and the ‘this is what I did and why I did it scene in the book’.

Mary Burton is a very good Romantic Suspense writer, and always keeps the reader on their toes. Unfortunately, the serial killer trope and the formulaic outline of her novels it getting a bit tired. Are there really that many serial killers in the world, and why is it that all the FBI agents have a tragic past for the killer to feed into? I would think that some of these people would never make it into the FBI with all their past issues. Mary Burton, it’s time to shake the formula up.

This story was an exciting romantic suspense title with two intriguing main characters. Kate Hayden is an FBI agent who is a profiler and a specialist in linguistics. When the story begins, she is trying to track down a man who puts young women in boxes and rapes them repeatedly until he gets tired of them. Kate rescues his latest victim Sara and promises to find the man. However, she is called back to San Antonio because there has been a crime committed that is eerily similar to a string of murders that Kate thought were solved. She isn't eager to go back to San Antonio. She left when she graduated from high school to get away from a family that had fallen apart after Kate's father was murdered and Kate was almost killed by her former boyfriend.

Detective Theo Mazur has caught the new crime and is eager to get Kate's input. Mazur has recently joined the San Antonio police force. His ex-wife moved there with their 14-year-old daughter to pursue her career. After losing his son to crib death and watching his marriage fall apart because of it, he wasn't going to give up any time with his daughter. He's still getting used to a new city and new job but he brought with him years of experience as a homicide detective in Chicago.

Mazur and Kate investigate first believing that the murder was a copycat killing. When there is a second killing which mimics another of Kate's closed cases, Kate begins to think that her old boyfriend, now out of prison, is going after her for revenge. Between the guy who likes to kidnap girls and keep them in wooden boxes and the ex-boyfriend with a major case of crazy, Kate and Mazur have their hand full. They need to find both of them before more people are killed.

This was an engaging mystery with really creepy villains. I liked Kate's single mindedness and her total focus on her job. I liked Mazur's devotion to his daughter and I also liked that he saw Kate's quirkiness and found it attractive. This is advertised as a stand alone mystery but I would be eager to find out what happens next for Kate and Mazur.
