Review: The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman

Rating: ★★★★☆

The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman is a fantastic read that left me deeply moved, earning it a well-deserved 4 stars. This book not only kept me engaged from start to finish but also managed to bring me to tears, which is no small feat.

Osman’s writing is as sharp and witty as ever, with a plot that twists and turns in all the right places. The characters are richly developed, each with their own quirks and depths that make them feel incredibly real. The mystery at the heart of the story is compelling and kept me guessing, but it's the emotional undertones that really set this book apart.

The moments of genuine human connection and the exploration of loss and resilience hit home in a way that few books manage. There’s a depth to the storytelling that goes beyond the typical mystery novel, making it a truly memorable read.

While it has its lighter, humorous moments, The Last Devil to Die doesn’t shy away from the heavier themes, and it’s this balance that makes it so powerful. If you're a fan of well-crafted mysteries with a heart, this one is definitely worth picking up. Just keep some tissues handy—you might need them!
