The Last to Vanish

De: Megan Miranda

Narrado por: Alex Allwine

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Visitors come to Cutter’s Pass to disappear into nature…not vanish into thin air. Don’t miss this “eerie thriller [that] can stand next to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Stephen King’s The Shining” (Booklist) about a disappearing journalist, unsolved mysteries and a mountain town with more secrets than answers, from Reese Witherspoon Book Club selected and New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda.

Ten years ago, Abigail Lovett fell into a job she loves, managing The Passage Inn, a cozy, upscale resort nestled in the North Carolina mountain town of Cutter’s Pass. Cutter’s Pass is best known for its outdoor offerings—rafting and hiking, with access to the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and its mysterious history. As the book begins, the string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself.

Abby has sometimes felt like an outsider within the community, but she’s come to view Cutter’s Pass as her home. When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. And she’s still on the outside. When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even those closest to her.

Megan Miranda brings her best writing to The Last to Vanish, a riveting thriller filled with taut suspense and shocking twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Good Book, Very Very Slow Start

The book would have been great, but I found myself realizing the first 23 chapters said a whole lot of nothing. Could have been up into 2 chapters. Reminds me of a high school paper, that you rephrase the same sentence multiple times, but not really saying anything of importance.

Well paced, protagonist is likable!

I finished this book during Labor Day weekend 2022, love that! Good story, big reveal came at just the right time! Enjoyable weekend read👍🏽

Great twists

I enjoyed this story because of the surprising switches of focus. Well written, and the narrator’s voice was calming.

Intriguing

I loved listening to this interesting story. I coldness of the read just made it more intriguing.

Very Evocative Tale

I like Megan Miranda's books for her consistent formulaic mystery style that still manages to surprise me. Her last book was a bit of a let down for me so I was excited for this one and it was a win. My guess as to whom the perpetrators of the mystery in this book were didnt even come close! She is very good at creating a nearly tangible scene and this one was very good; I felt like I was in the town. The characters were all pretty well developed even though you only get a glimpse into each of them. The Red Herrings were minute and well placed. The narration was okay but it wasn't as good as Rebekkah Ross who narrates many other Megan Miranda books. Definitely give this book a listen.

Wow!

I have loved just about every book this author has written, and this one is right at the top! Kept me engaged (on Audible) until the end!

Not my favorite Megan Miranda book

I enjoy this author but this was not my favorite. Story was lacking suspense and at times just felt dull.

Not what I was expecting but a good read!

This book had some really good reviews to live up to. I am not going to say that it didn't, because I would recommend this book and I gave it a pretty high rating. I found it scary at times, suspenseful and it left me guessing at many twists and turns. But, it wasn't the edge of your seat type of read I was expecting. It was fairly easy to get into and I finished it within a few days of starting. I came back each day choosing it over others on my ever growing tbr as well as the dozen or so books I've already begun recently, if that tells you anything about how much I did enjoy it. I had just been hoping for a bit more nail biting so to speak. It wasn't a book that kept me up at night, but it did keep drawing me back in wanting to know how it was all going to be connected and explained in the end.
The narrator did an exceptional job as well!

Amazing

I didnt see the ending coming. I love her books! all the missing girls was my first and I'm going to keep reading them.

Pretty Darn Good!

This one kept my interest and I did not see the ending coming!! It was good and I would recommend it especially to those of you who are interested in the mysterious vanishings in the national parks. Very good. Missing 411 anyone?
