The Ultimate Reading Challenge #23 – Try A New Genre Of Book!

Hi all!

Welcome back to The Ultimate Reading Challenge! I outlined in 2022 how the new series will work here, so check that out before progressing further. For my 23rd challenge, I was tasked to read from a new genre. I decided to go with a Historical Mystery, selecting The Only One Left by Riley Sager. Today I am sharing my thoughts on the book, plus my prize for completing the prompt. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Plot: ‘The Only One Left’ by Riley Sager:


A woman takes a job caring for elderly invalid, Lenora Hope, who was accused decades ago of murdering her parents and younger sister. As Lenora opens up about the past, her carer starts to wonder if her patient is actually innocent or more dangerous than she thought. 


Review: ‘The Only One Left’ by Riley Sager:

The Only One Left is my favourite Riley Sager novel. The moody setting, the cast of characters, the mystery – all of it had me captivated from start to finish. What really got me though, were the shocking twists. They were one after the other, hitting me right between the eyes every time. This was a perfectly told story, with several layers to it. It’s one that deserves a re-read, because once you know the truth, your entire perspective changes. I highly recommend it! 


Prize For Completing The Challenge:

My prize for completing the prompt was this teacup paperclip. It’s cute.

Thank you so much for reading! I will see you next month for a new bookish challenge!

Peace & Love xoxo
