“This psychological thriller will send shivers down your spine…raise the hair off your neck. It’s non-stop action and suspense. Character development is terrific. They all come across as normal everyday people …. but are any of them really who .. and what … you think they are?” – Linda Strong Reviews
“Her Last Breath is another twisty, stunning mystery thriller from author J. A. Schneider, where the evidence coils and turns like an eel on a hook. Mari goes from trauma to paranoia and back again, her instincts pushing her towards uncovering the blocked memories that could make or break the case, even as she doubts her senses, her mind, and who she can trust. Husband? Friends? Nobody? It’s a rare pleasure to come across a mystery that’s so hard to guess, and J. A. Schneider’s books have a consistent winning streak on that score. Her plots go from strength to strength.”– J.C. Steel, bestselling author of Fighting Shadows

It was okay. No explanation as to why she was chosen to be framed.
Good mystery.
Excellent book – love this author
Good read
subject content … S /M is not something I am interested in reading about… did not finish.
J. A. Schneider writes perfect books for people in a hurry. Also for commuters with time on their hands as they ride on trains, buses, ferries and subways. In my mind these commuter folks are her perfect audience. Why? Because the action starts on page 1! You are into the story before you have a minute to decide whether you want to be or not. Somehow, there is no putting her books down until you get to the last page. I would venture to say, some people could polish off HER LAST BREATH by reading on the way to work, at lunch break, and commuting home. In our busy lives this is definitely a good thing. The only downside is waiting for her next book
HER LAST BREATH is Schneider’s second foray into the stand-alone novel, although if you’ve read anything else she has written, you will recognize Detectives Kerri Blasco and Alex Brand. These New York City detectives have made appearances in all of her books including the “Embryo” series. A recurrent character does not have to mean a specific series of books that follow a planned timeline. I mention these specific characters to pique your interest in those other works.
Fast pace is not the only think going for this book. Not at all! There is the mystery that really gives nothing away until the very end. When I start reading a whodunit, out come the virtual deerstalker and clay pipe. Readers of mysteries all want to be Sherlock Holmes or Nancy Drew or Jessica Fletcher. The clues that point in every direction make us crazy. Just when we think we have solved the mystery, a balloon with the word WRONG pops cartoon-like in our heads. There is a body, of course, a young woman with amnesia, along with lies and half-truths through which we must sift to find the illusive means, motive, and opportunity.
This book is a good read! Don’t just take my word for it! Buy a copy of HER LAST BREATH and challenge yourself to find out whodunit.
I received a copy of HER LAST BREATH from the author in exchange for a review.
Twists and turns through out. Good reading.
Loved it. Will read more from this writer. Fast moving, nice twists and wonderful ending. Once I started it, I did’nt want to put it down.
Easy to read and follow along but kept me interested the whole time.
I thought this had the more twisted, unexpected and surprise ending. I was completely unprepared. Talk about a shot in the dark. Her Last Breath? My last breath.
I enjoyed this book because it kept me interested All the way to the end.
I enjoyed reading this, it was a fairly well constructed and quick read. Some characters less developed than expected but still overall entertaining book.
Hate it she’s a horrible author
