The Only One Left by Riley Sager Book Summary

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Named a summer book to watch by The Washington Post, Boston Globe, USA Today, Oprah, Paste, Country Living, Good Housekeeping, and Nerd Daily

"Propulsive ... a dizzying Gothic whodunit."
—New York Times Book Review

Bestselling author Riley Sager returns with a Gothic chiller about a young caregiver assigned to work for a woman accused of a Lizzie Borden-like massacre decades earlier.

At seventeen, Lenora Hope
Hung her sister with a rope

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Stabbed her father with a knife
Took her mother’s happy life

It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer—I want to tell you everything.

“It wasn’t me,” Lenora said
But she’s the only one not dead
 
As Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre, it becomes clear there’s more to the tale than people know. But when new details about her predecessor’s departure come to light, Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth—and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought.

Spellbinding. Could not stop reading. Plot twists and turns kept me hooked. Could not see the end. Excellent read.

Meh. Not her best. Wasn’t thrilling. Didn’t like any of the characters.

Another Riley Sager great!. I devoured this one and was so pleased with the ending! It truly was one of my favorites.

let me tell you why... definitely a page turner. it did the job - I liked the ending. lots of twists and turns in the plot, but almost too much for me. I did enjoy most of it - so I bumped it to a four at best :)

The only one left. Trite plot along with poor writing

Didn’t suspect any of the twists!. So good -a must read. Riley Sager’s writing always stands out among the rest.

Loved it !. This was a great read and is probably now my fave Save Book . (I also love final girls and the last time I lied )

Great Mystery!. Like a winding hill that gets steeper as you descend! What seems slow and meandering at the beginning turns into a page turner tied together in the end!

Absolutely loved it.. Such a pager turner and kept me on my toes.

Just so-so. It was waaaay too predictable. It was Ty stupid as well. The whole leaning house thing was very improbable. I wish I had passed on this one.

Delighted. The ending was amazing, great twisted book

Loved 95% of this story!!!. Doesn’t detract too much from the other 5%…

The only one left. I really enjoy all of Riley Sager’s books, but I gotta say I think this one was my favorite! All the twists and turns all the way to the end

Skip. This was basically “The Silent Patient”, but way more convoluted. This book was not an easy read for me as I wanted to give up a few times by how awful and fictitious the story was.

Great read!!. This book was a delight! Loved all the characters and their individual story lines.

The Who Done It Novel of 2023. The book opens and promptly produces a collections of questions: What happened to Kit’s mom? Did Lenora do it? What did Kit do to get suspended? Why is Kit’s father so mad or disinterested or surly? Why is Kit lying? Why is Lenora smirking in the portrait? This is classic “who done it” with several 360 turns and shocking revelations. I liked the conversations in the subtext around reality vs. perception vs. fiction; or how pain and suffering can alter or change who you are; or how time breeds comfortability. Sager’s book reads like a good game of clue, and one thing is clear Hope’s End is glided cage of secrets that needed to be destroyed.

Longggggg. I gave this book a 4 out of 5. I was leaning towards a 3 (at best) 3/4 way through. It was the longest story with a protagonist who was full of drama, judgmental and guilt-ridden. I started to delay reading. It did have a good ending though, so I bumped it up to a four.

One of my fav authors!. Riley Sager can do no wrong. Atmospheric. Twist and turns. What more could someone want?

Amazing!. Loved this book. I read it in 2 days. Great story and plot twist. Wonderful ending. I cried!

Amazing. I love all the twist! This story keeps you engaged the whole time! One you don’t want to put down.

Page Turner. Another gem of a book by Riley Sager…an author whose writing has kept me glued to the pages of a book well into the wee hours of the morning!

Trite. I hung in there for about 20 pages thinking that it would get better….the same shallow drivel continued…I didn’t.

Fun read!. My favorite Riley Sager book so far! I don’t know why but it reminded me of old VC Andrews vibes.

You will love this book!. This was one if the best books I have read in ages! I highly recommend "The Only One Left" to everyone. It's the type of book you cannot put down and also will take your mind off of any stress. A must read!!!

Great mystery. This is another great book! Lots of unexpected turns. Fantastic and surprising ending!

Excellent. At long last! I’ve finished this book. It’s been in such high demand at the library that I could barely get my hands on it. I think it’s definitely worth the hype. I really enjoyed the mystery of the murders and how they happened. I also liked the twist at the end, which I would have never seen coming in a million years. I really love Riley Sager’s writing because it’s fast-paced and this book is no exception. Would definitely recommend to fans of mystery.

A real page turner. My first book I’ve read by this author and it kept me locked in from the first chapter. Other than a few repeated phrases, this book is insane for its mystery loving audience!

The only one left. Really slow beginning then really pretty good read. Thanks k

Horrid. One of the worst books I’ve ever had the displeasure of opening. The writing is atrocious and the plot just unbelievably thin and simply unbelievable. I skipped through most of it but still couldn’t bring myself to complete it.

Oh please give me a break!. I have really enjoyed other of Sager’s books. But this one is truly preposterous. Good suspense fiction requires a minimum reasonable amount of credibility, of realistic plausibility. Or else, it’s just unbelievable. This book lacks any real credibility because it depends on multiple humdingers of preposterous escaping the reader’s legitimacy test. One I can live with and willingly forgive. But three? And that’s a conservative count. You could put it at five or six. A last minute twist is almost fun enough to make me forgive all. But it’s cheap too. And unearned by an author who felt like he phoned it in this time.
