The Last Patient

By: Erin Cross

Narrated by: Marina Dawn

Dr. Evelyn Hart has spent her life untangling the darkest corners of other people’s minds. A respected therapist, she thrives on structure, boundaries, and control. But when a mysterious new patient arrives—one with no records, no name, and an uncanny knowledge of Evelyn’s buried past—her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

The woman knows secrets Evelyn has never spoken aloud. She recalls memories Evelyn has tried to erase. And with every session, the line between doctor and patient dissolves. The recordings don’t match. The files don’t exist. And Evelyn can no longer trust the one person she has always relied on—herself.

As her grip on reality fractures, Evelyn is forced to confront the ghosts she has silenced for decades. But the deeper she goes, the clearer the truth becomes: the most dangerous patient isn’t the stranger across the room—it’s the one inside her own mind.

Dark, unsettling, and impossible to put down, The Last Patient is a psychological thriller that blurs the boundaries between memory and madness, trauma and identity, truth and illusion. Perfect for fans of Alex Michaelides, Lisa Jewell, and Freida McFadden, this chilling novel will keep you questioning until the final word: What happens when the therapist becomes her own case?

Highly recommend

If you like psychological thrillers that mess with your head in the best way, The Last Patient is one you’ll want to grab. Definitely reminded me of Alex Michaelides’ The Silent Patient but with its own unique spin. If you enjoy mind-bending thrillers that keep you questioning every chapter, I’d recommend this one.
