Review: The Last to Vanish by Megan Miranda

Author: Megan Miranda
Publisher: Scribner
Publication Date: July 2022

Ten years ago, Abigail Lovett fell into a job she loves, managing The Passage Inn, a cozy, upscale resort nestled in the North Carolina mountain town of Cutter’s Pass. Cutter’s Pass is best known for its outdoor offerings—rafting and hiking, with access to the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and its mysterious history. As the book begins, the string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself.

Abby has sometimes felt like an outsider within the community, but she’s come to view Cutter’s Pass as her home. When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. And she’s still on the outside. When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even those closest to her.


The Last to Vanish is a mystery that involves town secrets, missing people and a brother looking for answers.  I have read a few of this author's books and I have to say this one is by far my favorite so far.  It's a slow burn in the beginning but I was really intrigued to find out what happened. It was more than worth sticking it out.

This is a very twisty story with a few mysteries and solutions that tie together in the end.  I was genuinely surprised at each one of the reveals.  I really liked the main character Abby.  Her own story was interesting and she has her own secrets.  She was willing to do what it took to find out the truth of the multiple disappearances that plagued the inn.  Even when it meant her own life was in danger.  I definitely recommend this one.
