Author: Chautona Havig
Narrator: Christa DelSorbo
Genre: Christian Historical Mystery, Fairytale
Release date: December, 2021
At the pinnacle of his Hollywood career, Garrison Prince’s reign ends tonight.
As plain old Gary Prinz, he can pursue his Bible education, buy a bungalow in Pasadena, acquire a few chickens, and marry the girl of his dreams. He just never imagined trading the silver screen for a pulpit would wreak such havoc.
A cigarillo girl, Lucinda Ashton spends her days with her boyfriend, Gary, and her evenings selling candy and “gaspers” to the Hollywood elite at the Taj Mahal Theater.
However, when gunshots ring out just as intermission begins, Lucinda finds herself smack-dab in the middle of a brouhaha that leaves three dead, and no one has a clue why.
All the police know is that the evidence points to Lucinda as the killer and Gary as the intended target.
Four new friends, one young orphan, and a potluck of clues that don’t seem to fit anywhere leave the police baffled, Lucinda in fear for her freedom, and Gary ready to trade in his acting shoes for gumshoes if it’ll save his “Cinda.”
The first book in the Ever After Mysteries combining beloved fairy tales and mysteries, The Last Gasp. This Cinderella retelling blends a murder with enough crime and story clues to keep you on the edge of your seat.

My Review
Then Last Gasp begins the new Ever After Mysteries series and Chautona Havig’s contribution. As always, I enjoyed reading this author’s work. I thought it was a quick read that kept me busy reading for a couple of hours. Lucinda and Gary’s story was entertaining from start to finish. It was not easily predictable for me and I had to see how the mystery would be solved. It was fun trying to figure it all out. I really liked it.
The Last Gasp is narrated by Christa DelSorbo. Her performance on bringing this tale to life is superb. She made it so easy to continue to keep listening and she did a wonderful job.
I am giving The Last Gasp four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical suspense fiction. I look forward to the second installment from the Ever After Mysteries, Marji Laine’s A Giant Murder.
I received an audio copy of The Last Gasp from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Sounds like a great book.
