It's 2007, a time of digital revolution and skyrocketing property prices, but she's an old-fashioned girl. She doesn't even own a mobile phone. She has no stars-in-her-eyes desire for fame, to see her name on the cover of a book, either. She longs only to tell of the stories written on her heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile her best friends, Penny and Jane, and her darling boyfriend, John, seem set for stellar careers in their chosen fields, Thisbe works nights as a hostess at a glitzy harbourside Sydney club - a job she despises but it's paid the rent for the last three years since university graduation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as she completes her novel, though, she is brutally killed at the end of John's street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho murdered Thisbe? What will become of her novel?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Kim Kelly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'deeply moving.alive, full-hearted and shimmering with hope' - Belinda Castles, Bluebottle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Kelly is a masterful creator of character and voice.' - Julian Leatherdale, Palace of Tears\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'history that makes you think as well as feel' - Wendy James, The Golden Child\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'an author who writes with such a striking sense of atmosphere and sublime instinct' - Theresa Smith Writes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'storytelling is clearly encoded in her DNA' - Writerful Books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'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.'
