Reviews

“A well-written book with references to some good Golden Age mysteries. . . . Just who and why and what is happening to the people who went the Point and who will be the last person standing is as clever a twist as Ms. Christie ever envisioned.”
— The Globe and Mail

“A riveting, irresistible locked-room mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie, Last One Alive is endlessly entertaining and fiendishly clever. So jam-packed with tension and suffused with dread, you won’t be able to put it down!”
— CHRISTINA McDONALD, USA Today bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell

“A haunting, claustrophobic, unpredictable thriller for fans of Agatha Christie, Last One Alive showcases Amber Cowie’s extraordinary talent. As a violent storm rages outside a remote lodge, a group of strangers are stranded in a terrifying cat-and-mouse hunt for the murderer among them. Cowie writes with such skillful description that I could feel the cold and rain seep into my bones, and my pulse spike as the exhilarating story reached a breakneck pace. A bewitching read teeming with fascinating characters, this book is an absolute stand-out.
— SAMANTHA M. BAILEY, USA Today and #1 nationally bestselling author of Woman on the Edge

“An abandoned lodge. A group of suspect people. An old mystery to solve. And then, the guests begin disappearing one by one. Can they figure out what is going on before it’s too late? Fans of Agatha Christie and Ruth Ware will want to pick this book up immediately!”
— CATHERINE McKENZIE, bestselling author of Six Weeks to Live and I’ll Never Tell

“Cowie has done Agatha Christie proud in this stay-up-all-night, keep-all-the-lights-on mystery. With a setting that’s remote, creepy, and possibly cursed—and a story both haunting and harrowing—Last One Alive will entertain you from the first disappearance to the final dead body.”
— MEGAN COLLINS, author of The Family Plot

“Cowie has the uncanny ability to transport her readers to the eerie wilderness settings of her novels, to keep them racing through her books like a person desperately trying to find their way back to safety—but still, somehow, not wanting the adventure to end. Last One Alive is a fast-paced story of folklore, revenge, and redemption, sure to keep you reading late into the night (with all the lights on).”
