The Only One Left by Riley Sager

In 1929, 17-year-old Lenora Hope murdered her entire family. Or so the rumours go. Decades later, Kit, a caregiver gets assigned to work at the Hope mansion.

Conscious of what the townsfolk say about Lenora, Kit isn’t too keen about the job, nor can she afford to refuse. But when Lenora agrees to reveal the truth once and for all, Kit becomes determined to get to the bottom of it.
