Following close on the heels of his celebrated debut 18 Seconds, George Shuman returns with yet another remarkable thriller featuring investigative consultant Sherry Moore -- a blind woman with an uncanny ability to view the final living moments of any dead body she encounters. A ruthless serial killer with an unthinkable MO has left a trail of tortured, murdered women in western Maryland and seems to have gone to ground in the backwoods of Pennsylvania. With no leads or any sign of a suspect, investigators must call on the now-famous blind psychic Sherry Moore, a woman whose talent inspires skepticism, but whose results are unparalleled. When she is put in contact with the hand of any dead body, she relives the memory of the departed's final experience. While investigating this case, she is privy to the most savage and terrifying scenes imaginable. However, because the killer is aware of her methods, he keeps his identity just beyond her reach until she resolves to put herself directly in harm's way. When the fiend sets his sights on Sherry, this seemingly helpless woman must demonstrate an almost inhuman strength of will and of body as she attempts to capture the deranged killer without having to pay the ultimate price in exchange. With Last Breath, George Shuman confirms his status as one of the most captivating thriller writers, and in Sherry Moore, he presents one of the most compellingly original protagonists the genre has ever seen.… (más)

This is the second (I think) in the Sherry Moore series. The character is blind, and has the unique ability to touch the hand of someone who has died and "see" what they were thinking of in the last 18 seconds of their life. Its a quick read, and a good murder mystery with some interesting twists and turns. Would definitely recommend it to those who like the genre.

This book is a sequel to “18 Seconds”. A few of us at the Suspense & Thrillers group at Shelfari.com decided to get together are read Last Breath. Here are some of the group’s comments:

“…it is just not a quick read or an interesting one.”

“I am slugging through it…”

“…very disappointed in George Shuman.”

“…I am so thankful I got this book from the library and didn't purchase it.”

“It went on and on about nothing. I was so disappointed, and I did skim to get to the good parts, but they were few.”

“I found nothing empathic about the "good" characters, and decided I did not want to wade through any more of the sadness and horror to even find out what happened.”

“It was hard to stomach the repetitive descriptions of the suffering and horror of the victims' experiences as the killer tortures them; their facial expressions, their thoughts in the final seconds of their lives.”

In spite of the negative comments, I proceeded to finish the book. One thing to catch my eye was on the back cover. It was Stephen King's blurb about "18 Seconds". I wondered if that's who's been giving Shuman tips on how not to end a book. I didn't like the ending of "18 Seconds" and this one didn't end. It stopped, very much like King's Cell. The story idea behind this book is brilliant, but the execution leaves readers weeping in pain. ( )

Blind psychic Sherry Moore can "view" the last 18 seconds of a dead person's memory. After several women are found strangled in a warehouse, the Feds ask Sherry for help. When media coverage of the case brings national attention to Sherry's talent, the killer focuses his energies on taunting her for information about what his victims saw before he killed them. Second in series featuring Sherry Moore. Fast-paced and suspenseful. Highly recommend. ( )
