What to expect

The electrifying new stand-alone thriller from the author of THE LAST THING TO BURN and FIRST BORN.

My phone has no reception, something we've been told to expect from time to time out here, and my stomach feels uneasy. Maybe it's the motion of the waves or maybe it's the fact that Pete didn't leave a note or a text. He usually leaves a note with a heart.
I pull on jeans and a jumper and scrunch my hair on top of my head and take my key card and step out into the corridor.
Thirty seconds later it hits me.
All the other cabin doors are wedged open.
Every single one is unoccupied and unlocked.
My heart starts beating harder. I break out into a run. At the end of the long corridor I take a lift down to the Ocean Lobby.
There's nobody here.
My mouth is dry.
It's like I'm trapped on a runaway train.
No, this is worse.
The RMS Atlantica is steaming out into the ocean and I am the only person on board.

This was supposed to be the holiday of a lifetime for Cas. Now she just needs to survive.

With the drama of The Woman in Cabin 10 and the tension of And Then There Were None , The Last Passenger is a psychological thriller set aboard a cruise ship about a woman whose seemingly ordinary life is suddenly thrown dramatically off course. Will Dean is The Master of Intense Suspense and this novel is full of his trademark twists and turns.

Critics Review

Astonishing
Ian Rankin
The premise is excellent... [a] mile-a-minute, bite-your-nails-to-the-quick ride of a novel, but I will tell you to trust this writer because I guarantee you'll enjoy where he takes you. Extra kudos for the final twist, which brought me great pleasure
Observer
Oh my goodness, what a rollercoaster of a read!
Prima
A rollercoaster ride. I barely had any nails left by the end!
Good Housekeeping
This heart-stopping premise is one of the best openings to a book I've read
Sunday Express
The apex of suspense writing
Steve Cavanagh
Thrilling and terrifying in equal measure with a brilliantly heart-stopping ending. So good!
B.A. Paris
Expect not just the unexpected but strokes of genius
Imran Mahmood
Brilliant, twisted and oh so clever. The Last Passenger is Will Dean at the top of his game. And just wait for that killer last line
Chris Whitaker
A fast-paced, snakily plotted treat for fans of the modern psychological thriller
Vaseem Khan
Will Dean is a master storyteller - this book is real edge of the seat stuff! I loved it. And what an ending!
Catharine Cooper
I *guarantee* you will never read another thriller like this one. Sharp, unique, terrifying, page-turning and glorious. Clearly Stephen King and James Herbert had a baby and his name is Will Dean. It's bloody brilliant
