The Only One Left Audiobook by Riley Sager— narrated by Christine Lakin and Dawn Harvey
Riley Sager's The Only One Left drops a disgraced home-health aide into a Maine cliffside mansion to nurse the woman blamed for a 1929 family massacre, a stroke survivor who can answer only on a typewriter. A gothic whodunit with a genuinely fair central twist and a collapsing house doing half the work.
Why the audiobook wins
Christine Lakin and Dawn Harvey split a book whose central character can only answer on a typewriter, one letter at a time, and that constraint is the reason to hear it. Sager's stroke-survivor testimony arrives in a separate voice from the home-health aide's present-day narration, so the two accounts of the 1929 massacre stay distinct without any signposting.
The Maine cliffside mansion is standard gothic furniture, handled well, and Lakin keeps the aide's skepticism from tipping into sarcasm. Twelve and a half hours, with the short chapters Sager builds his cliffhangers around.
One Audible credit gets both voices. This is the Sager novel most often recommended on audio specifically, and the typewriter conceit is why.
