USED: The Only One Left

The Only One Left Riley Sager's latest Gothic thriller centers on a caregiver thrust into the orbit of a woman long suspected in a brutal family tragedy. In 1929, the Hope family murders devastated Maine's coast, with suspicion falling on teenage Lenora—though authorities never secured proof. For over five decades, Lenora has remained confined to Hope's End, the isolated mansion where the killings occurred, speaking to no one about that fateful night. When Kit McDeere takes a position as live-in aide to the now-elderly, stroke-afflicted Lenora in 1983, she discovers her charge communicates through typewritten messages and claims she's finally ready to reveal the truth. As Kit documents Lenora's account of the massacre, inconsistencies emerge, and the caregiver begins questioning whether her seemingly vulnerable patient harbors darker intentions than initially apparent.
