Last Train to Key West (Cleeton) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Edge-of-your-seat storytelling is Cleeton's hallmark….The Last Train to Key West blends danger, intimacy, history, and suspense in a taut, romantic story I didn't want to end.
NPR


The author neatly ties up the trio of plotlines, revealing the slender—and very convenient—threads connecting the women. Cleeton finds the right balance of historical detail and suspense, making this a riveting curl-up-on-the-couch affair.
Publishers Weekly


[E]ach of the three story lines is well done on its own, and the historical events are riveting. Cleeton's strength is in exploring the lives of women longing to push back against restrictive social expectations. —Mara Bandy Fass, Champaign P.L., IL
Library Journal


Cleeton’s depiction of the catastrophic hurricane is both gripping and terrifying, and she skillfully balances each woman’s internal growth with the various romantic subplots. Fans of Cleeton’s previous books… will devour this exciting, romantic tale.
Booklist


The story, the characters, the setting and the situation all lead to a thrilling climax.… We see the beauty of the Keys, the worst side of nature, and the fortitude of women who must stand up for themselves.
