HIGH PRAISE "This last book in the series is much different from the rest. It's more than a simple whodunit. Mark knows who's behind the conspiracy and why. But he must discover who else is involved and gather enough evidence to free his son and friends. Mark's character goes through a lot of changes, especially in his desperation. Goldberg offers a closing chapter for fans in this exciting story that culminates in a surprising finish."    —SciFiChick.com "With this book, Lee Goldberg brings his DIAGNOSIS: MURDER books to a close, at least for now. And he's written a fitting finale. It brings back one of his favorite villains from the series and uses him well.... Not only does this book close out the book series, but it also serves as a finale for the TV show. Yet it leaves the door open for further adventures. Frankly, I'd love to know what happens to these old friends next. This is a book for the fans. Anyone looking for closure for these characters should read it. I'm definitely going to miss them."    —Mark Baker "Lee Goldberg has spun another first-rate mystery thriller. From page one it is a book that the reader will not want to put down for any reason short of the house having caught on fire. The characters are fun and realistic, the villains dark and menacing, the puzzle of how it was all accomplished a mystery to the end. The prose moves briskly and never bogs down, the dialogue is crisp, clean and believable. The character of Mark Sloan is derived from the television program Diagnosis: Murder. One of my favorite moments in this book comes early on, when Mark reflects that he sometimes feels like a character in a television series, experiencing endless variations of the same story, over and over again for hundreds of episodes, season after season, without anything ever really changing. What a marvelous bit of writing. I would recommend The Last Word to any fan of Lee Goldberg, or to any reader looking for a fast-paced, character-driven mystery."    —The Gumshoe Review
