Last One Seen: A Thriller

There are three people I suspect of killing her, and I'm one of them.

A woman fights her own mind and memory to understand how she got here: the passenger seat of a car speeding away from a murder scene. In this riveting, dual-timeline psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Riley Sager, nothing is as it seems.

Hannah arrived at Washington University in St. Louis brimming with hope. She was determined to take her mood stabilizer, stay out of trouble, and make a name for herself while completing her creative writing MFA. When she meets Justine, an enigmatic, wealthy, charismatic, and successful student in her program, she's enchanted. And as Justine takes a special interest in her, Hannah falls completely under her spell.

When Hannah's life starts spiraling out of control, she isn't sure who to blame-Justine, for her intense and controlling influence, their jealous classmate Amelia, or herself. As her prescription fails her, she strays further and further from the straight and narrow.

Hannah can't help but reflect on her time in grad school, especially when she knows Justine is lying dead somewhere back down the road Justine's ex Eli is driving them away on. She knows Justine is gone. She knows someone killed Justine. And she knows it might've been her.
