"The Only One Left" is a gripping and incredibly interesting read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Riley Sager masterfully builds suspense, weaving a tale filled with intrigue and mystery that draws you in. The characters are well-developed, and the atmospheric setting adds to the overall tension.
However, I found the last 80 pages to be somewhat overwhelming. While I appreciate a good twist, there were so many twists and turns that it became difficult to follow at times, bordering on the unreasonable. Despite this, Sager’s storytelling prowess shines through, making it an enjoyable experience overall.
This was my first book by Riley Sager, and I’m definitely intrigued enough to explore more of his work in the future!
