Last One Seen

A Thriller

By: Rebecca Kanner

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

There are three people I suspect of killing her, and I’m one of them.

A woman fights her own mind and memory to understand how she got here: the passenger seat of a car speeding away from a murder scene. In this riveting, dual-timeline psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Riley Sager, nothing is as it seems.

Hannah arrived at Washington University in St. Louis brimming with hope. She was determined to take her mood stabilizer, stay out of trouble, and make a name for herself while completing her creative writing MFA. When she meets Justine, an enigmatic, wealthy, charismatic, and successful student in her program, she’s enchanted. And as Justine takes a special interest in her, Hannah falls completely under her spell.

When Hannah’s life starts spiraling out of control, she isn’t sure who to blame–Justine, for her intense and controlling influence, their jealous classmate Amelia, or herself. As her prescription fails her, she strays further and further from the straight and narrow.

Hannah can’t help but reflect on her time in grad school, especially when she knows Justine is lying dead somewhere back down the road Justine’s ex Eli is driving them away on. She knows Justine is gone. She knows someone killed Justine. And she knows it might’ve been her.

Wild, fun thriller

Last One Scene is a wild, twisty thriller that keeps you guessing at every turn. Without giving too much away, the main character struggles with bipolar disorder, which makes some of her memories unreliable. That uncertainty becomes a fascinating part of the storytelling. You’re constantly questioning what’s real and whether her memories can be truste. On top of that, it’s simply a great thriller, fast-paced, unpredictable, and hard to put down. I especially enjoyed that it’s set in familiar places, which made the story even more fun and immersive. If you’re in the mood for a thrilling, unpredictable ride, I definitely recommend this book.

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller.

"Last One Seen" by Rebecca Kanner is an absolutely gripping psychological thriller that kept me up far too late. Kanner has crafted a brilliantly unsettling narrative that places readers directly inside the fractured mind of Hannah, a woman grappling with her own unreliable memories while trying to solve her friend's murder.

What makes this novel exceptional is how Kanner explores the terrifying question: what if you can't trust your own mind? Hannah's struggle to piece together what happened while her life crumbles around her is both heartbreaking and utterly compelling. The author masterfully builds tension as Hannah narrows down three suspects—including herself—and we're left questioning every revelation and doubting every certainty alongside her.
