Last Night

By: Luanne Rice

Narrated by: Jim Frangione, Nicol Zanzarella

From the Amazon Charts and New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Box and Last Day comes a breathtaking thriller about a family shaken by lies, vengeance, and a cold-blooded crime.

A fierce blizzard is burying the eastern seaboard, but on the icy Rhode Island shore renowned artist Maddie Morrison finds warm sanctuary from a contentious divorce at the legendary Ocean House. Hours later, her body is found buried under a blanket of snow and her little daughter, CeCe, has disappeared without a trace.

For Detective Conor Reid; his brother, Tom, a coast guard commander; and Maddie’s grieving sister, Hadley, the posh hotel becomes ground zero for an investigation. Trapped by the blizzard, they must hunker down and determine who in the young mother’s life could have possibly wanted her dead. There are stories of a twisted romantic past. Of old jealousies and resentments that still cut to the bone. And a history of greed, rage, and revenge that created the perfect storm for murder. A storm that has just begun.

Critic reviews

“Take a deep breath and dive into this foreboding tale set on Rhode Island’s seashore.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A story about the local community, jealousies, and greed.”—Library Journal

“The action is nonstop, but that doesn’t overshadow the human connections between key players and the possibly suspect secondary characters… Fans of Nora Roberts, Sheryl Woods, and Robin Carr will enjoy Rice's latest.”—Booklist

Best mystery/romance ever

The information about Rhode Island is Spot On. Multiple mysteries heightened the suspense.
Fantastic writing and presentation.

More drama and lies than murder mystery

I had mixed feelings on this book. Too much talking versus action in the story. The first half of the book went very slowly. It wasn't as much drama or really even a murder mystery, more family secrets, lies, greed and drama. I didn't feel vested in any of the characters or their roll in the story. It's a good thing the cop was staying at the hotel or the murder might never have been solved. This story could have been so much more.

Interesting how they have weaved rhechatactets

Never read her books enjoyed it She twists and turns her story to keep it going always rethinking who is guilty.

Great storyline and not predictable

It was an easy listen. I enjoyed the story and didn’t predict the end of the book. At the end it’s a feel good story.
