Summary
Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence.
Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning. Child after child disappeared, a reign of terror the town desperately wants to forget. Now that terror has returned to seize another girl. And another. And another.
This is the story Laura's been waiting for - her one last chance to get back onto the front page. She dives deeper into a case that runs colder by the second, only to discover the truth may be far closer to home than she could have ever imagined.
Powerful, intricate, and tense, Last Girl Gone will have you looking over your shoulder long after the last page.

Intolerable
I couldn’t get past the awful narration. I gave up after an hour. Everything is read in a gasping, breathless voice that I found really difficult to listen to. One to read myself I think.

Game of two half’s
Story not bad - I shan’t be going to North Carolina anytime soon! At first narrator got on my nerves - too dramatic and breathy. Also, at first I had no idea what was going on and found myself not really listening- this was probably because there seemed like too many characters and the story confused me. However it did get better at the end and there was a good twist .

Narration is awful
Narrator is either completely flat or just speaks too fast or in weird parts of sentences. Has strange pauses. Story might have been good but I just couldn’t listen to the narration.

Couldn’t finish
I tried very hard to give this a go but whether it was the story or the awful narrator I’m not sure, but I eventually gave up.

Quite entertaining
However, yet another woman who is superior at absolutely every level much more so than any of the actual experts in their own field. That is fairly formulaic and is becoming a bit tiresome. I appreciate it is fiction and this maybe creates more drama but it would be nice, occasionally, not to be shocking, that a woman is good at her job, no frills! At least she didn’t climb on to anyone’s lap!

I recommend
I really enjoyed this book, the best part being that I didn't immediately figure out the plot twists!
