Raw and unflinching, Anna Bailey’s Our Last Wild Days is about the mystery of how anyone survives as much as it is the mystery of how one woman didn’t. In a beautifully observed story brimming with singular characters, small-town Louisiana still manages to steal the show.... a stunner. * Ashley Winstead, author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour *
With a setting as atmospheric as Where The Crawdads Sing, and characters as memorable as those in All The Colours of The Dark, this isa stunningly written thriller and I savoured single page. Congratulations Anna - another blistering triumph to follow Tall Bones. * Nikki Smith, author of Look What You Made Me Do *
Our Last Wild Days has everything I love in a suspense novel: a vivid and gritty setting, characters with sharp edges, atmosphere that seeps through the pages, and a dark, gripping mystery. Best of all is Anna Bailey’s exquisite prose, filled with lines worth tattooing and passages worth framing. This is a book that will sink into your bones. * Megan Collins, author of Cross My Heart and The Family Plot *
A slow burn murder mystery that immerses readers in its dark and claustrophobic bayou setting * Culturefly *
