Publisher's Summary
Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence.
Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning. Child after child disappeared, a reign of terror the town desperately wants to forget. Now that terror has returned to seize another girl. And another. And another.
This is the story Laura's been waiting for - her one last chance to get back onto the front page. She dives deeper into a case that runs colder by the second, only to discover the truth may be far closer to home than she could have ever imagined.
Powerful, intricate, and tense, Last Girl Gone will have you looking over your shoulder long after the last page.

hard to listen
The book was hard to listen to at times. The narration was not good....she seemed to be whispering which was quite annoying. the story was good although confusing at times.

Not Bad
I liked it but wasn’t blown away. It picked up near the end, some parts/characters weren’t memorable. I wouldn’t pay for it but it’s good for the free catalogue.

Absurd but redeeming thriller
It has redeeming suspense and a great twist at the end, but most of the characters are so unbelievably stupid and / or incompetent that it could have been a sci-fi or fantasy book. I half expected aliens or wizards to be responsible.

Great Story - poor delivery
I enjoyed this book, but the narration was difficult to handle at times. The performer’s voice sounded auto tuned at some points which threw off the inflection and emotion. The narrator also seemed to be talking in a hushed tone which made it hard to listen to. It’s too bad, because I enjoyed the story.

Good story too drawn out
I liked the story but actually got tired of it. It was just too drawn out. At the end I was just wishing it was over

Didn't finish it
I rarely leave a book unfinished but by chapter 15 there was no main character I could really identify with. A lot of pettiness and back biting that seemed superfluous. Even less necessary was the gruesomeness. At the second graphic description of a tortured child I decided to quit rather than skip through.

The main character is a strong women and the end was a great closure.
Mentally it’s hard to read because the victims were children. A sad reality in so many places.
