The Only One Left

by Riley Sager

darksuspensefulgothicclaustrophobicmysteriousunreliable narratorisolated settingdark secretsfamily cursethe past coming back to haunt

In 1983, home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at Hope's End, a decaying Maine cliffside mansion, to care for Lenora Hope. Lenora is infamous for a gruesome family massacre in 1929, though she was never convicted. Now mute and confined, Lenora offers Kit a tantalizing proposition: she'll type out her true story of that bloody night. As Kit transcribes Lenora's account, a chilling, gothic atmosphere settles in. You'll find yourself questioning every word, never quite sure if Lenora is a tragic victim or a cunning killer. This is for readers who crave a slow-burn mystery steeped in dark family secrets, where an isolated, claustrophobic setting amplifies the suspense and the past refuses to stay buried.
