Last Night

By: Luanne Rice

Narrated by: Jim Frangione, Nicol Zanzarella

From the Amazon Charts and New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Box and Last Day comes a breathtaking thriller about a family shaken by lies, vengeance, and a cold-blooded crime.

A fierce blizzard is burying the eastern seaboard, but on the icy Rhode Island shore renowned artist Maddie Morrison finds warm sanctuary from a contentious divorce at the legendary Ocean House. Hours later, her body is found buried under a blanket of snow and her little daughter, CeCe, has disappeared without a trace.

For Detective Conor Reid; his brother, Tom, a coast guard commander; and Maddie’s grieving sister, Hadley, the posh hotel becomes ground zero for an investigation. Trapped by the blizzard, they must hunker down and determine who in the young mother’s life could have possibly wanted her dead. There are stories of a twisted romantic past. Of old jealousies and resentments that still cut to the bone. And a history of greed, rage, and revenge that created the perfect storm for murder. A storm that has just begun.

Critic reviews

“Take a deep breath and dive into this foreboding tale set on Rhode Island’s seashore.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A story about the local community, jealousies, and greed.”—Library Journal

“The action is nonstop, but that doesn’t overshadow the human connections between key players and the possibly suspect secondary characters… Fans of Nora Roberts, Sheryl Woods, and Robin Carr will enjoy Rice's latest.”—Booklist

The emotions that come with her writing style.

I liked Multiple readers for appropriate chapters. I feel like this helped with the storyline perspective.

Page turner

Enjoyed the flow of the story and the intrigue.
I agree with another reviewer about the excessive use of “he said , she said” when only 2 characters are speaking. I found it disruptive to the details of the story.
Otherwise, very enjoyable

Great storyline and not predictable

It was an easy listen. I enjoyed the story and didn’t predict the end of the book. At the end it’s a feel good story.

If you like art you will like this book

Very good storyline on this book. A family oriented story and I love the backdrop and the place that the story takes place in. Very well put together. Enjoyed it

Best mystery/romance ever

The information about Rhode Island is Spot On. Multiple mysteries heightened the suspense.
Fantastic writing and presentation.
