<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;" class="greenText">"A hauntingly beautiful story about grief, the language of twins, and the healing power of a bond that is stronger than death.

A dark psychological tale of secrets and betrayal, suspense and passion, <em>The Last Will</em> is a book that makes you forget everything and just spend the rest of the day and night reading. Like <em>Rebecca</em>, this is a tale so well told that it keeps you in its grip and doesn't let go, haunting you long after you've turned the last page. If it were written by a seasoned novelist, <em>The Last Will</em> would be a feat. That it is a debut makes it all the more amazing.
