The Only One Left by Riley Sager
4.5

Mini Audiobook Review: 4.5. - Thank you so much to PRH Audio for the complimentary audio! 

This is book is available now! 

It's been awhile since I have read a Riley Sager book (still working on his backlist) and this is the one! Not only is this cover eye catching & really fits the vibe of the book but this book is just great! 

It's hard to write a full in depth review as with thriller you don't want to give too much away and want readers to be surprised. One thing I love with thrillers is I love when everything takes place in one location and in this case Lenora's estate.  

There were a few different twists that took place and as always I could never predict what happen! And you want to make sure you read until the very end. The way Sager wrote this left me wanting to keep going and didn't feel like a 12 hour listen. 

The audio was FANTASTIC! I thought actress Christine Lakin did an excellent job with Kit and looking forward to hearing more from her. Dawn Harvey was a great choice for the voice of Lenora during the past timeline because you could tell that it was a voice of an older woman. The contrast between the two made it easy to follow along. 

Bonus: In the description & text there is a poem that gave me the same kind of chills as I felt when I read Agatha Christie's And Then There None. Brillant! 

Highly recommend for a summer read!
