The Last One: A Novel

An unputdownable locked-room thriller about family, trust, and survival from the acclaimed author of the “utterly thrilling” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author) First Born.

When Caz steps onboard the exclusive cruise liner RMS Atlantica, it’s the start of a vacation of a lifetime with her new love, Pete. On their first night they explore the ship, eat, dance, make friends, but when Caz wakes the next morning, Pete is missing.

And when she walks out into the corridor, all the cabin doors are open. To her horror, she soon realizes that the ship is completely empty. No passengers, no crew, nobody but her. The Atlantica is steaming into the mid-Atlantic and Caz is the only person on board. But that’s just the beginning of the terrifying journey she finds herself trapped on in this white-knuckled mystery.

I did enjoy this book, it enthralls you right from the beginning. I do wish the characters were a little better developed and some details were a little far-fetched. But altogether, it was a really good read. It was an amusing book club discussion as well!

This book was nuts! The whole plot was well thought and so stressful. I could not expect the outcome!!! I felt so betrayed for the main character. I can't believe she had to live through these scenarios! Book was amazing! Highly recommend!!!
