一回到她的电子邮件，愤怒依然四处蔓延她的头，当一个新鲜的ping进她的收件箱了她的眼睛盯着另一个她一眼就认出来的名字:简·弗罗。哦，天哪……她想要一些多加黄油的爆米花。

一个谋杀。一个失踪的手稿。一个永恒的爱。Thisbe Chisholm想成为一名作家。这是2007年，一个数字革命和房价飞涨的时代，但她是一个守旧的女孩。她甚至连手机都没有。她眼中没有明星般的渴望成名，也没有看到自己的名字出现在一本书的封面上。她只渴望把写在她心里的故事讲出来。当她最好的朋友佩妮和简，以及她亲爱的男友约翰，似乎都在自己选择的领域里有了辉煌的职业生涯时，蒂丝贝却在悉尼一家豪华的海港俱乐部做晚上的服务员——她不喜欢这份工作，但大学毕业后的过去三年里，这份工作养活了她的房租。然而，就在她完成她的小说时，她在约翰的街道尽头被残忍地杀害了。 Who murdered Thisbe? What will become of her novel? From the gritty glamour of Bondi Beach to the cold streets of London, here is a tale of tragedy and literary betrayal, of a publishing industry grappling with change and a great love drowning in guilt-wracked grief. Haunting, whimsical and sharply observed, Her Last Words lays bare the truth that, while some crimes might go unpunished among the privileged, words themselves have a way of enduring - and exacting a justice all their own. Praise for Kim Kelly 'deeply moving...alive, full-hearted and shimmering with hope' - Belinda Castles, Bluebottle 'Kelly is a masterful creator of character and voice.' - Julian Leatherdale, Palace of Tears 'history that makes you think as well as feel' - Wendy James, The Golden Child 'an author who writes with such a striking sense of atmosphere and sublime instinct' - Theresa Smith Writes 'storytelling is clearly encoded in her DNA' - Writerful Books 'It is uplifting to know that there are people who can write like this, with clarity, a bit of devilment and a hint of a smile.' Canberra Times 'marvellous depth and authenticity based on some impressive research, and her characters, plot and fluid prose draw the reader into this world' - Daily Telegraph 'colourful, evocative and energetic' - Sydney Morning Herald 'storytelling that breaks the rules so beautifully' - Jenn J McLeod, A Place to Remember 'Kim Kelly's writing is magnificent' - With Love for Books 'told with wit, warmth and courage' - Kylie Mason, The Newtown Review of Books 'vivid and enthralling' - Lisa Walker, The Girl with the Gold Bikini 'simply superb' - Karen Brooks, The Darkest Shore
