Is there a serial killer in the Catholic Church?
When a young woman is found dead on her bed, dressed in an old-fashioned nightgown with her hands clasped in a prayer position, Detective Kate Murphy is called to investigate her murder.
Before Kate and her colleagues can find the killer, another woman is found dead in the same position. Other than being Catholic, having blonde hair, and living in Boston, the women have very little in common. But one thing is clear: the serial killer has some twisted religious beliefs.
What is his motive? Who is he? And, most importantly, can Kate stop the murderer before he strikes again?
If you like adrenaline-pumping suspense and nail-biting drama, then you'll enjoy this page-turning mystery.

Serial killer in religious community
C. C. Jameson, ‘The Last Amen’, a Kate Murphy Mystery.
As a ARC reader I received this book for free. And promised an honest review. Here it is.
For me English is a foreign language. Sorry for errors.
Rating: 4,5 stars (of 5).
In general: Serial killer in religious community.
Main characters:
- Kate Murphy.
Detective in Boston. At first she had to struggle to receive recognition as a clever, hard working investigator in a world dominated by men. Now for the first time she’s leader of the police team that investigates the murder of several women.
- Luke (Luko) O’Brien.
Head of the forensic lab in Boston. Friend of Kate since childhood. A few years ago they met again and fell in love. Kate lives together with Luke in his house. Luke also took his (very religious) mother in his home.
The author, C.C. Jameson, created an original plot about the investigation into the serial killings.
The book was well written and has several interesting storylines: the investigation itself with sometimes unexpected turns; the often difficult relation between Kate and her boss, Fuller; Kate’s dark past; and the behaviour of people in a (sometimes close) religious community. The characters are credible. The plot full of suspense makes the book a page turner.
For me, there was only one ‘but’. In general I like to read books to get a ‘feel good’ experience. And this book contained some scenes that gave quite an opposite feeling, as the detailed description of the dissection of a corpse that was already murdered more than a week before or the several killings of young women. I know, that’s the reality in police work and normal for detecive stories, but .... brrrr.
