Summary

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.

Not great

Story full of truly awful people including the main character, where children are openly mistreated and no one gives a stuff. Killer became clear soon enough but that wasn't the problem

Gripping

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 😁

Would recommend ……

I really enjoyed this book! At first I kept rewinding as I’d lost what was going on - but that’s probably more to do with my own lack of concentration! The story line was great - keeps you guessing with twists and turns!
Great narration too. Worth a read/listen!

Too sadistic for my taste

Good twists and turns but my experience of life, thank goodness, made the mothers difficult to believe in. I read it to the end though.
