The Only One Left by Riley Sager
5.0

I’d like to give The Only One Left 4 1/2 stars but that isn’t an option. So I’m rounding up to 5! Initially I wanted to give it full 5 stars, if only it weren’t for one little problem; there are actually TOO MANY twists. What a great problem for a book to have! Unfortunately, I sometimes found it difficult to keep up with what was happening to who and when the events transpired and what the motives were and how any of it could be possible. BUT it was engaging, crazy, and had a strong, likable protagonist. I will eventually reread it.

I’ve read three of Mr Sager’s books so far. I devoured Survive the Night and The House Across The Lake directly before burning through this one, which so far is my favorite of his novels.

If I could sum The Only One Left in one word it would be OUTLANDISH.

I hope you enjoy reading it and if you have, let me know what you thought!
