LAST TO VANISH

Chilly and atmospheric, this audiobook begins slowly, but the buildup is worth the wait. Abby Lovett has worked at The Passage Inn for 10 years, though she is still considered an outsider by the locals. The inn, located at Cutter's Pass on the Appalachian Trail, is connected to numerous cases of missing people, including Landon West, a reporter who was investigating the disappearances. As Abby tries to figure out what happened to Landon, and untangle the past mysteries, Allwine matches her fear, confusion, and determination. The narration paints a picture of the area that draws listeners in. Allwine creates believable distinctions between the characters and between Abby's conversations and internal thoughts. Listeners will find themselves captivated as the truth comes out through unexpected reveals. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]
