Will Dean’s latest book The Last Thing to Burn has been described as “Room meets Misery”...that was enough to intrigue me and I can tell you I WAS hooked! I read this book in 2 days. I haven’t been able to achieve that level of attention since before my first child was born and that’s a few years ago now.

The Last thing to burn is tense, heartbreaking, with glimmers of hope and will have you thinking about the characters long after you’ve finished. Will has delved into the shocking, often hidden crime of human trafficking and the main character Thanh is, in my opinion, one of the best female protagonists in any book I’ve read in recent years.

Will lives deep in a Swedish forest - that’s also intriguing...
