From the start, this book builds this tense, almost Hitchcockian atmosphere: you can feel the dread creeping in, the way Hitchcock would use shadows or hidden corners to make you fear what’s just out of sight. Every character seems normal at first, but you know someone is hiding something… you just don’t know who, or when it will explode.
The story revolves around the breaking point of ordinary people pushed too far. One choice can change everything: kill or be killed. The tension is relentless, the kind that makes you hold your breath and double-check every detail because nothing is as it seems. The pacing is quick, the twists are sharp, and just when you think you have it figured out… you don’t.
What makes this book really shine is how relatable the characters feel. You suspect them, empathize with them, and yet the suspense never lets you relax. The ominous tone lingers long after you put the book down. The Last Straw is a perfect mix of psychological thrills, clever plotting, and that subtle, simmering terror.
If you love psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last page, The Last Straw is a must-read.
