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.

Slightly confusing
I had to be fully focused to understand the book. I think the story is to confusing for an audiobook and would be better for listeners to read it.

Far-fetched
I didn’t like the characters much. Perhaps because it was not a hard copy, it was easy to get confused with the story and characters, although I found myself wanting to finish it.

Empty
I found the main character a bit heartless and disliked her way of using people and simply didn’t believe in her caring about the victims in the story. I didn’t believe in the psychologist either. The whole thing seemed cardboard. But it kept me listening.

Excellent story line
Definitely a few twists that weren’t the usual predictable. Narrators style was a little uncomfortable but not something that’s too much to get past. Overall a great audiobook.

An intriguing mystery, if somewhat gruesome
I often stop listening to books when the descriptions are just too awful, and while there are some bits of this book I would rather not have etched in my consciousness, the story as a whole hangs together pretty well. I was a bit confused by the actions of one of the law officers who I thought might be the perpetrator - maybe that was intentional by the author, but mostly it was a well constructed mystery.

Not bad
The story was ok, had pace and turns etc but the narration was just oddly robotic. If Siri narrated a book, this is what it would sound like!

Unfinished
Could not get into this at all, so I have not finished it. The narration really put me off. Cannot really comment on the content as I did not listen for very long.
