The Only One Left is tied for my favorite Riley Sager book (The House Across The Lake).
This had all the gothic horror vibes. Creepy mansion on a seaside cliff, old lady who can talk or move except her left hand, story written out on a typewriter, bloodstains from infamous local massacre from 1929, covered paintings of family members, creaky front gate that gets stuck, old fashion nurse, chef and housekeeper uniforms, possible ghost of a deceased family member? It has it all.
That’s all I’m saying…
