Well. Well, well, well. What an end to the series. I don’t know what I was expecting when I picked up this series. I love disaster movies and EOTWAWKI scenarios, and I also have a certain fondness for mysteries and police procedurals. I had no idea how those themes would mesh. As it turns out,...
As the world approaches the end The Last Policeman has one more case. The book has the feel of Don Quixote, with Cortez as Poncho to Hank's Don Quixote. But it works. Good mystery with an ending that is complete.

It used to help my brain unwind. I used to spend way too much time with Gaming (at the computer, on my tablet, etc) because I ...
An excellent conclusion to a unique trilogy. "With the doomsday asteroid looming, Detective Hank Palace has found sanctuary in the woods of New England, secure in a well-stocked safe house with other onetime members of the Concord police force. But with time ticking away before the asteroid makes ...

I won this ARC through Booklikes and wanted to say thank you with this review. "...and the world can't end with the crime unsolved.
