The Only One Left by Riley Sager is a mystery thriller. One bloody night the whole Hope Family was murdered in their home but left the 17 year old Lenora Hope alive many people assume she killed her family but Lenora denial, no way was every arrest but Lenora never set foot outside of Hope’s End the mansion where the massage occurred.54 year later  Kit McDeere a home-health aide who’s has a dark secret she won’t confront so when she arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenroa after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair,Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. 

I don’t normally read mystery let alone thrillers, at least not without some romance plot but this book had me absorbed from page one. I was recommend this book because they compare Lenora to Lizze Borden and I must say it didn’t lead me astray. The book’s chapters were two kind one was the present and the other was about a year before the murders actually happened and I love both so much, being in Lenora’s chapters was so interesting, I was focused reading this book because I love trying to figure out the mystery before it revealed and every time I thought I knew who killed the Hope family I would read the next chapter and have to start my theory all over again and it just made the story that much more entertaining and fun for me.

In the Mansion way most of the book takes place in wasn’t full of people only very few who had would have been there the day of the Hope family murder but I didn’t trust any of employees but one minutes I would be like okay so it not them but then the next I would question myself all over again. All the characters were so interesting and suspicious and everyone had their own secrets but it was fun to see everyone 54 years ago and also in the present day. Every bit of details of the characters important 

The plot twist I had not seen coming even the slightest bit and normally I don’t get that far off from the twist but any of my theory even one I had given up because I felt it was too obvious or impossible but it all made so much sense and I’ve read books with either such obvious or made absolutely no sense but this book plot twist was wonderful and I would definitely recommend this book to any mystery lover.
