The Last Love Song {Review}

Set in a small coastal village in Ireland, Sorcha falls in love with struggling musician Con Daly. Con is strikingly handsome and talented, but an outcast and not a suitable choice for Sorcha. When they run off together to London, Con joins a rock band and their luck begins to change. The Fishermen are an instant hit, and it doesn’t take long for the dark side of fame to rear its ugly head, revealing a secret Con would rather remain hidden.

Twenty years later, the band has agreed to reform for a charity concert, but Con has been missing for over a decade and the events that split them apart need to be uncovered to prevent tragic consequences.

This can be called a simple romance-mystery novel, but it is done so well. It’s a love story at the core but the romance was a supporting act to a great plot that was interesting throughout.  I enjoyed every bit of the storyline and was never happy to put it down at night. 

The character creation was especially compelling, I particularly enjoyed Helen. She is such a complex figure, with such a growth arc that you can’t help yourself going on a feeling’s journey with her. From nonchalance, to disgust, to love, to horror, to pride, and then sorrow. I find myself still thinking about her a week later, as if she is real, wanting to rewrite her story.
