Now available in a mass market paperback edition for the first time!


It only takes one fleeting moment for Liz Camden to change the lives of everyone she loves.

The community along Oregon’s Deschutes River is one of successful professionals and perfect families. For years, up-and-comers Liz and Owen have admired their good friends and neighbors, Carole and David. They appear to have it all—security, happiness, and a beautiful young son, Charlie.

Then Charlie vanishes without a trace, and all that seemed safe is shattered by a tragedy that is incomprehensible—except to Liz. She can’t undo the terrible mistake she made. Or her unforgiveable decision to conceal it.

As two marriages crack and buckle in grief and fear, Liz retreats into her own dark place of guilt, escalating paranoia, and betrayals even she can’t imagine. Because there’s another good neighbor who has his own secrets, his own pain, and his own reasons for watching Liz’s every move. . . . Someone who knows that the mystery of the missing boy on the Deschutes River is far from over.

“Olsen WILL SCARE YOU—AND YOU’LL LOVE IT.” —Lee Child
Praise for The Last Thing She Ever Did
 
“Gregg Olsen pens brilliant, creepy, page-turning, heart-pounding novels of suspense that always keep me up at night. In The Last Thing She Ever Did, he topped himself.” —Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author

“Beguiling, wicked, and taut with suspense and paranoia, The Last Thing She Ever Did delivers scenes as devastating as any I’ve ever read with a startling, pitch-perfect finale. A reminder that evil may reside in one’s actions, but tragedy often spawns from one’s inaction.” —Eric Rickstad, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girls

“Olsen's latest examines how a terrible, split-second decision has lingering effects, and the past echoes the present. Full of unexpected twists, The Last Thing She Ever Did will keep you guessing to the last line.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie To Me

“Master storyteller Gregg Olsen continues to take readers hostage with another spellbinding tale of relentless, pulse-pounding suspense.” —Rick Mofina, international bestselling author of Last Seen

“Tense. Well-crafted. Gripping.” —Mary Burton, New York Times bestselling author

“With The Last Thing She Ever Did, Gregg Olsen delivers an edgy, tension-filled, roller-coaster ride of a novel that will thrill and devastate in equal measure.” —Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author
