Summary

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Three sisters’ secrets collide in a shocking novel of suspense by the bestselling author of the Mercy Kilpatrick series.

Twenty years ago Emily Mills’s father was murdered, and she found his body hanging in the backyard. Her younger sister, Madison, claims she was asleep in her room. Her older sister, Tara, claims she was out with friends. The tragedy drove their mother to suicide and Tara to leave town forever. The killer was caught. The case closed.

Ever since, Emily and Madison have tried to forget what happened that night—until an eerily similar murder brings it all back. It also brings FBI special agent Zander Wells to the Oregon logging town. As eager as he is to solve the brutal double slaying, he is just as intrigued with the mystery of Emily’s and her sisters’ past.

When more blood is shed, Zander suspects there’s a secret buried in this town no one wants unearthed. Is it something Emily and Madison don’t know? Or aren’t telling? And Tara? Maybe Emily can’t bear to find her. Because when Tara disappeared, she took a secret of her own with her.

“With her riveting, narrative driven, deftly crafted storytelling style as a novelist, Kendra Elliot’s The Last Sister will prove to be a welcome and enduringly popular addition to community library Mystery/Suspense/Thriller collections.” —Midwest Book Review

This one had me guessing right to the end. I loved the sisters and the aunts. What characters. The agents are called to a gruesome murder and they wonder about a connection to the past. Really enjoyed the narrators especially the female. I could have listed to her read the whole book.

Great into to a new author for me

Took a bit to get into and became a little predictable tbh. Love Cassandra Campbell as a narrator. Very descriptive but not gripping book.

Murder mystery in Oregon

Average at best, with very simple and predictable writing. I felt the characters were very corny and so was the writing, it made me cringe.
I thought the female narrator did really well, however the male narrator should never put on a female voice because he is really bad at it and I had to hold myself back from skipping over him.
A simple book with a simple story.

It was ok!
