About this listen

A sheriff investigates his own brother's murder, deep in the heart of Appalachia...

Estranged after a devastating betrayal, brothers Victor and Frank Landis - sheriffs of neighbouring counties - hadn't spoken for years. In truth, Victor didn't care if Frank was alive or dead. Until the day somebody killed him.

Crossing county lines in search of answers, Victor is soon on the trail of a sinister conspiracy that takes him deep into the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. From the poorest communities to the most powerful and corrupt organisations, he soon becomes ensnared in a dangerous web of drugs, trafficking and murder.

For Victor, finding the truth will mean uncovering dark secrets he'd rather have left buried, and risking everything to protect the family his brother left behind...

At once a gripping mystery and a moving portrait of life in an isolated, misunderstood community, The Last Highway is the latest atmospheric suspense novel from award-winning Sunday Times bestseller, RJ Ellory.

Another brilliant story

A fantastic story and amazing finale. Does lack some of Ellorys usual atmospheric sweeping detail of situations and locations but the story and characters more than make up.

Really Enjoyoyal

The story is fast paced and the narrator (Jack Reacher) is just perfect for this book. The story is all about the death of a brother and some girls. The plot includes all detectives from different counties. The previous book was a bit too gruesome but this was just right.

Very good storyline, keeps you guessing

Great characters, brilliant narration. Jeff Hardings timing is excellent, makes a serious tale very funny in part. Like it was written for Jeff to read.

A hard listen

At first it seems pedestrian and somewhat full of little homilies from the characters pointing out the main protagonist’s failings. The latter part of the book comes to life though, and the ending is undeniably shocking but believable. Narration is good.

Great narration

Terrific story well told. Gripping & terrible, funny in places. Some great one liners. This 15 word minimum for reviews is really stupid, probable puts people off reviewing.
