Publisher Description
ONE LAST STEP (A Tara Mills Mystery—Book One) is the debut novel in a new FBI mystery series by debut author Sarah Sutton.
Two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone’s porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the local police realize they have a serial killer on their hands––and need to call in the FBI.
FBI Agent Tara Mills is young, brilliant and new to the force. With a promising career in front of her, she faces the ultimate test when she is assigned the case. It soon proves to be more challenging than she ever could have imagined––an impossible riddle that leaves even her seasoned partner stumped.
Meanwhile, something about the case stirs a darkness within her––a tortured past that even her long-term boyfriend doesn’t fully understand. As nightmares consume her, she only hopes that her past will not come back to ruin her once again.
As more hikers go missing, and with her job on the line, Tara finds herself on a race against time as she combs through the forest’s trails. Peeling back each layer, she soon realizes that she is up against a true diabolical mastermind. And just when she thinks she has it all figured out, her instincts lead her to the most shocking truth of all.
Book #2 in the series––ONE LAST BREATH––is also now available!

One last step
This was a better than average story. Exciting and fast paced .
Great Read
Enjoyed this book and the twists and turns of the plot.
Too silly
The author needs to go out to discover how adults talk and think. Honestly this was so silly. The FBI agent on her first case solves it, while her partner who has been in the business for decades doesn’t have a clue. So many things just too ridiculous. As if they’d be feeling “defeated” after being on the job for less than 48 hours. As if police wouldn’t have recognised the logo of the Sunset B&B. The woman gets whacked over the head with a spade, kicked in the face, has her arm sliced open, punched and kicked in a fight, but hey, let’s pretend none of that happened and she is as right as rain, except her incredible (in the true meaning of the word) boyfriend has to help her twirl her pasta. Not to mention her partner who was shot in the shoulder isn’t even admitted to hospital. Dear god, how does this rubbish get published?
