About this listen

Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence.

Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning. Child after child disappeared, a reign of terror the town desperately wants to forget. Now that terror has returned to seize another girl. And another. And another.

This is the story Laura's been waiting for - her one last chance to get back onto the front page. She dives deeper into a case that runs colder by the second, only to discover the truth may be far closer to home than she could have ever imagined.

Powerful, intricate, and tense, Last Girl Gone will have you looking over your shoulder long after the last page.

I tried very hard to give this a go but whether it was the story or the awful narrator I’m not sure, but I eventually gave up.

Couldn’t finish

Unlikeable protagonist and none of the characters were particularly sympathetic. I found the plot overlong and convoluted at times . It became obvious who the murderer was ..a case of who else could it have been. It was the quality of the writing that saved it for me.
I didn't mind the narrator .

Mixed feelings

This was hard to listen to because the narrator was so breathy and dramatic. I listened to two other books between sittings, but the story was really good. May have been better have read it. Will look our for the author again but maybe not the narrator.

Slow burn

I loved everything about this book. Totally gripping story line read beautifully by the narrator. I would happily have used a credit to get this book but incredibly it was free with my membership 😁
