The Only One Left


Riley Sager could write a phone book and I would read it! This book is not one of my favorites, but dam - he can't write be perfect all the time! The Only One Left has lots of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing. Kit McDeere is a disgraced home health aide. Her name has been splashed in all the papers and it's been damn near impossible to land another job. She is so desperate to get out of her father's house that she takes the first position that comes her way; caring for the elderly, Lenora Hope. Lenora is a local boogeyman - there are rhymes sung about her on school yards, the legend is she killed her whole family but there wasn't evidence to convict her. Kit will have to overcome her own misgivings if she wants to keep this job. She drives up the Maine coastline to a beautiful mansion on a cliff - where she soon discovers there is a lot more to Lenora's story than anyone knows. A little high on the cheesy scale - but I still ate it up!
