Reviews for Last Words
It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into this book - the claustrophobic setting, a strong likeable protagonist whom you want to succeed, and a solid mystery that keeps you guessing right up to the end. This is the best thriller I have read since Michael Connelly's The Scarecrow.
Crime Fiction Lover
[An] outstanding launch of a new series. Koryta punctuates the intense underground scenes of LAST WORDS with claustrophobia so realistic that it's palpable. He wrings every moment of excitement possible.
Associated Press
Koryta is a master of plot and pacing
Arizona Republic
An inventive storyteller who's also a skilled stylist. Koryta's descriptions....possess an unearthly beauty.

New York Times Book Review
Reading Michael Koryta is like stepping into fast water. You don't know where the current will take you, only that it's strong and deep and likely to sweep you away. That's what the best fiction does, and Koryta does it better than just about anyone else.
John Hart Michael Kortya is a master at maintaining suspense and a hell of a good writer.
Nelson DeMille Outstanding in every way.
Lee Child Praise for Michael Koryta
