The Last One Home

A razor-sharp novel of suspense about the lies families tell--and those we choose to believe--by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Jane Doe.

Lauren Abrams wants nothing to do with her damaged mother, whose spurious testimony sent Lauren's father to prison for murder years ago. After a serial killer's confession to the crime restored justice, Lauren chose to live with her father and grandmother. Now an adult, Lauren has come home to the Sacramento family estate for good, her mother's lies be damned...

It's been decades since Donna made her cheating boyfriend pay, but she hasn't forgotten the past. She knows her estranged daughter has made a terrible mistake by returning to the estate. There's more to the story of the welcoming old homestead--and her childhood--than Lauren knows.

As Lauren settles in, she is haunted by the questions of what really happened with her father, what her mother might be hiding, and what secrets the family ranch holds. It's getting so dark, Lauren may not be able to see the truth to save her life.
