If you had the opportunity to meet a convicted murderer, what would you choose to do?
I would keep my distance, stay cautious, avoid personal interaction, and observe only if necessary, prioritizing safety and emotional boundaries above curiosity.

My Opinion
The Only One Left by Riley Sager is yet another astonishing thriller that truly chills you to the core. From the very beginning, the story grips you with an eerie atmosphere and a sense of unease that never fades. What makes this novel especially compelling is how skillfully the author builds suspense—you constantly feel like you’ve figured out the killer, only to be proven wrong again and again.
The characters are the strongest aspect of the book. Each one feels layered, flawed, and somehow guilty, making it nearly impossible to fully trust or judge anyone. Despite their questionable actions, you may even find yourself understanding their motivations, which adds emotional depth to the story.
Every few chapters shift your perspective, keeping you hooked throughout. Just when you think you have all the answers, the final pages reveal the truth in a way that feels both shocking and satisfying. Riley Sager truly never disappoints.
