Last Seen Alone

By: Laura Griffin

Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell

Up-and-coming attorney Leigh Larson fights for victims of sexual extortion, harassment, and online abuse. Unafraid to go after the sleaziest targets to get payback for her clients, she’s 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 26-year-old Vanessa Adams, but all he finds in his search of the car 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 together against the clock to chase down a ruthless criminal who is out for vengeance.

The characters

Easy listen! Not a ton of depth or mystery but still a very worthwhile listen!

Romantic suspense thriller

I loved it! My favorite genre is romance. My daughter’s favorite is thriller. This was a great mix of the too. First time reading by this author. I definitely recommend and will read more by her.

Good story… as usual. But…

As usual, good and easy listening. I was a little distracted by the narrator. I’m sure it’s hard to voice different characters but it’s almost like she tried too hard. Otherwise, good read. Enjoy!

Just eh

I am a huge Laura Griffin fan and I have read all of her books. My favorites are Scorched, Deep Dark, Desperate Girls, and Deadly Secrets. This new series just doesn’t do it for me. It doesn’t keep my heart pounding and on the edge of my seat like her other series does. I will continue to read every book she writes but this one just didn’t keep my attention.

Didn't care for the narrator

I love all of Laura Griffin's books but this wasn't my favorite. Maybe because I didn't really care for the narrator. She tended to make the main female character have almost as deep a voice as the male characters. I don't know, it just was read very well in my opinion.
