The Last to Vanish: A Novel

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Visitors come to Cutter’s Pass to disappear into nature…not vanish into thin air. Don’t miss this “eerie thriller [that] can stand next to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Stephen King’s The Shining” (Booklist) about a disappearing journalist, unsolved mysteries and a mountain town with more secrets than answers, from Reese Witherspoon Book Club selected and New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda.

Ten years ago, Abigail Lovett fell into a job she loves, managing The Passage Inn, a cozy, upscale resort nestled in the North Carolina mountain town of Cutter’s Pass. Cutter’s Pass is best known for its outdoor offerings—rafting and hiking, with access to the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and its mysterious history. As the book begins, the string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself.

Abby has sometimes felt like an outsider within the community, but she’s come to view Cutter’s Pass as her home. When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. And she’s still on the outside. When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even those closest to her.

Megan Miranda brings her best writing to The Last to Vanish, a riveting thriller filled with taut suspense and shocking twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Cutter’s Pass is a small town full of well kept secrets. Outsiders, outside of tourists, are not welcomed with open arms. Alyssa moved to Cutter’s Pass 10 years ago and still feels like an outsider. She finds a job at a local resort off the Appalachian trail. Over the years, there have been multiple mysterious disappearances from the town. When the brother of one of those missing individuals checks into the resort and starts asking questions, things get interesting.


This was my third book by Megan Miranda and my favorite so far. I liked the storyline and didn’t expect the twist at the end. I did feel like parts in the beginning were dragging and the ending was a little rushed as it often is in thrillers. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it!

Thank you Libro.fm, Megan Miranda and Simon & Schuster Audio for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.
