The Last Party

By: A. R. Torre

Narrated by: Amy Bentley, Will Damron, Neil Hellegers, Ellen Quay

A loving mother. A notorious murderer. They both have reasons to hide their secrets in a novel of escalating shock and suspense by New York Times bestselling author A. R. Torre.

Perla Wultz lives with her husband, Grant, and their precious daughter, Sophie, in a gated Pasadena community. Affluent, sociable, and accomplished, Perla plays the part of loving wife and mother to perfection. It seems an ideal life, if not for a decades-old crime that has become Perla’s dark and consuming secret obsession.

Twenty-three years ago, Leewood Folcrum confessed to murdering two young girls during a birthday party. Though he’s been condemned to a life sentence, his crime is not forgotten. Not by Perla, nor by an inquisitive doctoral student interviewing Folcrum for his dissertation. He’s getting the killer to open up—about his motives, his confession, and the truth of what really happened on that horrible night.

As the past and the present entwine, the deceptions behind the infamous murder begin to surface. But who’s deceiving who now? And why? And as an ingeniously twisted plan is set in motion, who will be the next to die?

Critic reviews

“[E]ven savvy veterans who predict every twist will keep turning the pages compulsively as the mystery curdles into suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews

`Great Book!

I read a lot of thrillers, and this has been the best one i've read in a long time! I loved the premise and the twist was great. The audio performance was very good, as well.

Can’t stop listening!

It just consumed me and within two days I listen to the entire book. It was so good as all of the author’s books are.

B+ fantastic but lots of child SA

This was soooo good! Even though I shocked myself on figuring out the ending at the very beginning of the book, it still had such a mind blowing plot, I didn’t lose attention - the only reason I didn’t give it an A rating was bc the mention of pedos & the victims enjoying it - it was GROSS. Too far IMO. Such a great book but I’d take out the 10-15 min of this.

A good first read from this author

It was predictable as someone who reads/listens to thrillers but it was still entertaining

Sooooo good!!!!

I couldn't stop listening! It's a must read! Really hard to find a book you can't put down, this one is it!
