When they face the most baffling missing person's case of their careers, a fiercely ambitious lawyer and a homicide detective have no one to turn to for help except each other, from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin. Up-and-coming attorney Leigh Larson fights for victims of sexual extortion, harassment, and online abuse. She is not afraid to go after the sleaziest targets to get payback for her clients. Leigh is laser-focused on her career—to the exclusion of everything else—until a seemingly routine case and a determined cop turn her world upside down. Austin homicide detective Brandon Reynolds is no stranger to midnight callouts. But when he gets summoned to an abandoned car on a desolate road, he quickly realizes he's dealing with an unusual crime scene. A pool of blood in the nearby woods suggests a brutal homicide. But where is the victim? The vehicle is registered to twenty-six-year-old Vanessa Adams. Searching the car, all Brandon finds is a smear of blood and a business card for Leigh Larson, attorney-at-law. Vanessa had hired Leigh just before her disappearance, but Leigh has no leads on who could have wanted her dead. Faced with bewildering evidence and shocking twists, Leigh and Brandon must work against the clock to chase down a ruthless criminal who is out for vengeance.

"Last Seen Alone introduces you to Leigh Larson, attorney to those victims of abuse from stalkers and online abuse. She is focused on her career and nothing is going to get in her way, even some cop investigating a homicide case. Brandon Reynolds is looking for leads on a case finding their victim, Vanessa, who just happens to have hired Leigh shortly before disappearing. Can Leigh and Brandon work together to solve what has happened to Vanessa. Is there any chance they will find her alive? Or is it too late?<br/><br/>Leigh and Brandon meet when Brandon questions Leigh after finding Vanessa's car on the side of the road abandoned. With no leads on who saw Vanessa last, Brandon is left grasping at straws trying to string together a theory. Leigh, recently hired by Vanessa after one meeting, wants to be a part of this case. As the story progresses, Leigh and Brandon work together, much to both of their demise. As they start to trust in each other, personal feelings and tensions grow and bring them together.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed the characters and how they all interacted with each other. The one thing that didn't sit well with me was how quickly romantic relationships seemed to form on top of all of the stress of looking for a missing woman. Although after some of the tough situations, it would be nice to have someone to be with you, a near stranger wouldn't be the first person I'd go to. I loved how the story all tied together in the end. It had a couple of twists in the story to keep the reader engaged."
