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.

"⭐️⭐️1/2 I was excited for this one and thought the premise sounded intriguing..so up my alley. Unfortunately I didn’t find it suspenseful or thrilling in the least, just a slow drag towards a not very satisfying conclusion. It was my first Megan Miranda book but I will try another one and hope for better. "
"A perfect summer thriller. Miranda makes the most of her isolated wilderness setting in this wonderfully atmospheric read. The mystery starts with a slow burn but by the end the tension was unbearable and I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended for mystery and thriller readers of all stripes."
"This is probably the best of the books I’ve read from Miranda. The pacing is good, it’s not too bogged down with details and seems more logical than the others. I still didn’t like the ending, though. I feel like that’s one of her weak points. This one was rushed and, despite the rest of the book coming together nicely, i just don’t understand Georgia and the way things ended with her? It’s an easy read, but it’s probably not one I’ll read again. "
"Very good read, hooked you in, layered story! Slightly too slow in the beginning or it would’ve gotten 5 stars!"

"The blurb on the back sounded like it would be a big thriller, however, I was sadly let down. It felt redundant and the characters never really made me connect to the story. The ending was a surprise but it wasn't the most interesting read."
