Wow. I LOVED this. An edge-of-your-seat, absolutely riveting mystery. He is the rare writer whose talent actually progresses with each novel. This intricate mystery is his best work so far - with a heart-wrenching and yet beautiful story. It was truly wonderful. I can't wait to read what he publishes next!

I found this book one that I could not put down. It is rare that I find a book that I need to wake up and read in the middle of the night so I can see what happens next. This is one of those. I guess that I would compare the author to Harlan Coben's style of writing, mystery, murder, love interest....has it all! Totally recommend this book.

Fantastic read and totally deserving of the recent Edgar Prize. I've read all of John Hart's books, and this is his best, by far. It had me guessing throughout and I stayed up late last night to finish it. I'm still thinking about it, a sure sign for me of a very enjoyable and thought provoking book. Very highly recommend.

This book was so good. I couldn't put it down. Finished it in two days! The characters are really deep and the flow of the book was perfect. The ending was not at all what I had expected. It is a long book but you don't notice that as you are so pulled into the story. You end up rooting for Johnny and praying that he finds the answers he seeks!

This book started out pretty slow for me, to the point where I almost put it down...

SO glad I didnt. It was a great "mystery" that kept me turning the pages and not wanting to put it down. I really felt like I got to know the main characters.

Will definitely look forward to more of John Hart's books!

What an amazing read! I read this for my book club and I could not put this book down! Mystery is normally not my genre, but the characters of this book soon grab your heart.
You really don't even have a clue of what really happened until the author reveals it at the very end. Thank you, John Hart for writing such a treasure! If you have not considered putting this on your reading list, you are really missing something. A novel with heart rendering emotions, twist and turns, and adventure that could be a scene in anywhere across the country. "The Last Child" is a must read!
