I absolutely LOVED this book! Claire is sarcastic, FUNNY, semi crazy, and a hella smart woman that I loved to hate then loved again. I became more immersed with every page, as the plot twisted and turned its way to the end. Kathleen O’Donnell has done an outstanding job with her first book. Can’t wait to hear more from her. Hurry! – Ryker, five star review on Amazon. Claire’s a rich widow on a …
Claire’s a rich widow on a mission, who partakes with abandon from the pharmacy stored in her Prada purse. Rob’s an aging reality show celebrity.
Stuck on the same flight, bound for the same eccentric town, she hates him on sight. She thinks she knows all there is to know about him but is dying to find out more. He’s disinterested but somehow still sees right through her. But they’ve both got big problems. Hers is in the Louis Vuitton carryon in the overhead. His is in his pants.
To Claire’s dismay, Rob turns up everywhere she goes, yet they form the unlikeliest of friendships. He cares for her in ways she’s never known before. He could be the best thing in her life—or the worst.
In a place full of secrets, including their own, they help each other find answers they didn’t even know they were looking for, yet some questions linger. What happened to Rob’s first wife? What happened to Claire’s husband? Will they live through the answers?
The Last Day for Rob Rhino is a dark, tragic, and funny novel about the bonds of family and friendship. If you’d love a Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, or Stieg Larsson novel with a humorous twist, this would be it.

Claire Corrigan and Rob Rhino are an unlikely pair of allies in this humorous albeit tragic story that has you wondering who is really helping who. Claire is seeking revenge and is going back to her dead husband’s hometown to exact it. Enter Rob Rhino, an aged, over the hill porn star who still has a following (in wouldn’t you know it) the same small town that Claire is headed to. Without giving anything away, there are characters that are super likable and super UNlikable, and you find yourself cheering for the underdog. You also find yourself accepting all the characters for who they are and how they fit together is amazing! I found myself laughing out loud in many parts, and had no clue through the twists and turns, where the book was taking me! The ending is a jaw-dropper, so although the book starts a bit slow, stick with it! After the first few chapters, I found it hard to put down. Get this book, you’ll be glad you did.
Wonderfully weird!
I would not exactly call this book a thriller but it definitely was weirdly suspenseful. It made me laugh and feel sorry for the characters at the same time. Claire Corrigan is a bald addict with an unusual mission who cannot seem to escape from Rob Rhino, an aging porno star. Throw in her bizarre in-laws and a small town that cannot seem to decide between religion and pornography and you have a recipe for some very unusual character interactions. Of course, there is an odd death or two to make you wonder about everyone.
The book is very well-written and the storyline will keep you glued to the pages like it did me.
This book is a bit of a mind-blower. It’s dark, provocative intense and surprising. I loved the characters and the storyline has many twists and turns. Revenge takes many forms with many consequences. It’s fascinating, like a car wreck that you can’t help looking at. It’s really quite a good book.
This book was so entertaining. I found myself at times comparing Rob to a old male porn star that had been in reality shows in the US in recent years. I loved how these 2 characters (Rob and Claire) were completely opposite but yet so very much the same. I loved the plot twists. I felt guilty at times wanting revenge but loved how karma took care of things.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Between Ms. O’Donnell’s hilarious turn of a phrase the twisted plot that kept you guessing and characters that kept revealing little surprises about themselves, I was hooked from the first page to the last. Any book that has me laughing out loud repeatedly is a winner for me. Any book that has me thinking “well I didn’t see that coming” Will have me gushing about it.
