Synopsis

Summoned by letter, Holly Shaw and five of her cousins—virtual strangers to each other—have gathered at a grand house in the rugged wilds of Alaska. Equally unfamiliar to Holly is her great aunt Lydia, the woman who has called the family together and is dangling a massive inheritance before them. Her condition? They must remain in the house, with Lydia and her butler and caregiver, until she passes. Anyone not in residence at that time is out of the will, their share of the money split among the others. That night, everyone settles in. And the next morning, the murders begin… From Mustang Award finalist and 2022 Derringer Award nominee Brandon Barrows comes this twisting, atmospheric mystery, an utterly compelling tale of guilt, greed, and temptation.

This is one of those books that you can enjoy if you can suspend disbelief and tolerate the narrator, Holly. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it. I persevered because I wanted to see how it played out and it did get better towards the end. I’d describe it as a mash-up of a classic closed set murder mystery......more

Goodreads review by Christine

The Last Request is a mystery with a foreboding tone. Holly Shaw is summoned to Alaska by a great-aunt she has never met. Aunt Lydia is dying and promises Holly and her cousins, who are strangers to one another, a share in her fortune after she dies. The catch is they must stay in her home with her......more
