Publisher's 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.

hard to listen
The book was hard to listen to at times. The narration was not good....she seemed to be whispering which was quite annoying. the story was good although confusing at times.

Cringeworthy
You're a journalist hiding on a bluff. Down below you see through your camera zoom lens the serial killer you've been tracking, and a cop who's been suspended with his weapon raised. You see their faces clearly, and follow their every action through your camera. What do you do? Do you photograph the scene unfolding, which is what you are there to do? Why, no! You dump the camera without getting a single shot, and you slither down the hillside shouting warnings to the cop, and then, surprise!, you get shot while the others die. There are so many scenes like this that I was mostly yelling at the author because listening to them is cringeworthy. I've never met a more unlikeable obtuse heroine in my life. No amount of cleverly wrought 'surprise' ending could mitigate the stupidity of this story.

Great Story - poor delivery
I enjoyed this book, but the narration was difficult to handle at times. The performer’s voice sounded auto tuned at some points which threw off the inflection and emotion. The narrator also seemed to be talking in a hushed tone which made it hard to listen to. It’s too bad, because I enjoyed the story.

A good murder mystery
A good story overall except there were times it was a little hard to follow. Dialogue could be complex at times. Lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it.

Great suspenseful story!
I chose this book on a whim and really enjoyed the unpredictability of the story. I had a hard time leaving it when I had other things to do.

Loved this book.
I was on my toes the whole time listening. Have to admit that at sometimes, I became a tad panicked, in fear, Laura might be @The Last Girl Gone”!
