    About this audiobook

    From Allison Leotta, the “highly entertaining storyteller” (George Pelecanos) who writes “in a style that’s as real as it gets” (USA TODAY), a ripped-from-the-headlines novel featuring prosecutor Anna Curtis at the center of a national story involving campus rape and the disappearance of a young woman.

    Emma, a freshman at a Michigan university, has gone missing. She was last seen leaving a bar near the prestigious and secretive fraternity known on campus as “the rape factory.” The main suspect is Dylan Brooks, the son of one of the most powerful politicians in the state. But so far the only clues are pieced-together surveillance footage of Emma leaving the bar that night…and Dylan running down the street after her.

    When Anna discovers the video diary Emma kept over her first few months at college, it exposes the history she had with Dylan: she had accused him of rape before disappearing.

    Emma’s disappearance gets media attention and support from Title IX activists across the country, but Anna’s investigation hits a wall. Now Anna is looking for something, anything she can use to find Emma alive. But without a body or any physical evidence, she’s under threat from people who tell her to think hard before she ruins the name of an “innocent young man.”

    Inspired by real-life stories, The Last Good Girl shines a light on campus rape and the powerful emotional dynamics that affect the families of the men and women on both sides.

      This book is amazing. Allison Leotta is a fantastic author, and I hope she will start another series!!
    • 5/5
      A great ending to a great series. I wish there was more. Warning: proceed with caution as there are triggers of drugging, rape, sexual assault and severe fraternity hazing. But overall good book
    • 4/5
      WHY can't narrators learn the difference between "wind" pronounced with a "long e" rhymes with "bind" (such wind the twine around something, he is winding his watch, she drove down the winding road) and "wind" pronounced like "sinned" (the wind blew strongly, scattering the leaves)?!?!? I encounter this issue in about 20% of the audio books I read, and I learned this grammatical lesson in elementary school. Doesn't ANYONE listen to this books before they are put out for public purchase and/or consumption? GREAT STORY, and talented narrator otherwise (strong well modulated voice that is non-abrasive and doesn't detract from this excellent story) but errors in pronunciation (in this case, mispronunciation EVERY time the narrator encountered W-I-N-D) pull the listener rudely out of the story. Grrr. Frustrating!

      Love this book !! Recommend, and the one before it.. a good killing.
