The Only One Left
Riley Sager
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 HopeHung 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 knifeTook 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 saidBut 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.
