A naïve parole officer in her first month on the job. An extremely good-looking convicted murderer. What could go wrong?

These are some of Krissie's tips for fellow parole officers: Don't smuggle heroin into prison. Don't drink vodka to relieve stress. Don't French-kiss a colleague to make your boyfriend jealous. If only she'd taken her own advice...

When she starts the job, Krissie is happy and in love. Then she meets convicted murderer Jeremy, and begins to believe he may be innocent. Her growing obsession with his case threatens to jeopardise everything - her job, her relationship and her life.

My Last Confession by Helen FitzGerald

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2017

I love the way Helen FitzGerald tackles widely different subjects within her writing of psychological thrillers and in My Last Confession, we have a newly appointed Probation Officer and one of her ‘clients’, a murderer.

Krissie is a single mum and she’s moved in with Robbie – I believe these two characters appeared in the author’s debut novel Dead Lovely, which I haven’t read but may explain why some of the details about how they came to be together seemed a little illusive. She uses her previous skills working with child protection and move into supervising adult offenders.

Jeremy is one of Krissie’s cases, in prison for murder, although a conviction which Krissie begins to doubt whether he has been wrongly convicted and so she turns detective. Of course Jeremy is only one prisoner who makes up Krissie’s workload and so we have a number of characters to get to know while Krissie battles with her job and her son who steals the show more than once.

Krissie is a mass of contradictions, on the one hard a caring woman, one who is trying to build a family but she also does some incredibly stupid things over the course of the book. There were times when I just wanted to shake some sense into her, after all this is supposed to be an educated woman but obviously one whose heart rules her head. At times, despite playing detective with gusto, I had to despair at Krissie’s inability to read the clues given to her – maybe she needs to read a few more crime fiction novels to give her some pointers.

The book really does beg you to sit up and take notice with some attention grabbing scenes. For those of a nervous disposition, there are some racy scenes too. Having read four other books by this author I think perhaps the more subtle look at modern life worked slightly better for me. Those themes are ever-present in this book, particularly the Glasgow setting which is terrifically well created. Although I’ve not worked in a prison or in any type of related position, the work-place scenes are easily transposed to anyone who has colleagues and they had me chuckling away frequently.
There were some bizarre scenes though which I didn’t really quite work for me but it really was worth persevering because the second half of the book is exceptionally gripping with an ending which was perfectly fitting.

This is an ideal book if you want to read something a little bit different, a bit of crime, a little bit of women’s fiction, a few racy scenes and a whole dollop of fun. This is the ideal lighter type of reading, one that should be approached with a sense of irony which would iron out the earlier scenes that had me slightly confused.

Loved it, brilliant. But did she learn her lesson?

As I was reviewing this I noticed this is meant to follow on after Dead Lovely which I have not read yet. However, I am going straight into dead lovely. It read fine as a standalone. Yet again another brilliant story I got stuck into!

In this story Krissie has a new job and an interesting one too, a parole officer. Things soon do not seem as great as she first expected, work starts to take her away from her family, her life. She turns into a detective which isn't her job and gets it all completely wrong. She's told offenders too much about herself and got too into her job.

Similar to cat and mouse. She messed up and life starts to become dangerous and scary for her. Making it a fast paced, thrilling edge of your seat read to see it all unfold. A happyish ending for a change. But did she learn her lesson? Loved it! A well deserved five stars. Highly recommend.

Wasn't sure about the style in which it was written initially but thankfully I persevered a few chapters in and I was totally hooked.This is the second book I've read by this author and certainly won't be the last.Characters are real ,believable you can relate to them and their lives story is fast moving quite a few unexpected twists and turns along the way a book you just need to read one more chapter of before you put the light out And a creepy unexpected twist at the end
Definitely a five star read .

Another thrill/character story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2018

I had very little sympathy for the hero as she was irritatingly stupid. Why they didn't sack her says a lot for today's systems. This seems to be the author's approach to make flawed characters to gather sympathy but given they are portrayed as smart educated woman, couldn't one of them show a modicum of common sense???????????

I guessed the outcome way ahead and there weren't too many surprises. Readable but flawed.

I loved this book, I got through it within a couple of days. Definitely worth reading Dead Lovely before this one though so you understand the characters such as who her son is and who by and the circumstances.
