Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Last by Hanna Jameson, read by Anthony Starke.
BREAKING: Nuclear weapon detonates over Washington
BREAKING: London hit, thousands feared dead.
BREAKING: Munich and Scotland hit. World leaders call for calm.
Jon Keller was on a trip to Switzerland when the world ended. More than anything he wishes he hadn't ignored his wife Nadia's last message.
Twenty people remain in Jon's hotel. Far from the nearest city, they wait, they survive.
Then one day, the body of a girl is found. It's clear she has been murdered. Which means that someone in the hotel is a killer...
As paranoia descends, Jon decides to investigate. But how far is he willing to go in pursuit of justice? And what happens if the killer doesn't want to be found?

Post- app Murder mystery ....
with a taut plot, eerie and haunting felt like in this situation it is like some of us would react. It’s a compelling read. I quite like the ending tbh didn’t expect it Highly recommended!

Terrible accents
The narrator’s accents were really awful and inconsistent, which completely detracted from the overall story. Not an enjoyable listen, unfortunately.

starts well but very poor story after half way
wow... the ending of this book is just so random and the second half of the book just so pointless. So many storylines that are just pointless and uninteresting. It starts so well but then around half way becomes just so boring and lacking focus or originality.

End of the world or a who done it
Packed up this book looking for an end of the world tale but ended up with a who done it crime book with nuclear war as it’s stage. Not really what I was looking for but not all bad. Narration was the saving grace for me and kept me listening.

A neat story of isolation at the end of the world
A solid performance from Anthony Starke leads a nice diary entry format of making sense of the end of the world, whilst also investigating a murder

It's fine.
There's this sentence fragment in the second to last chapter. "() I interjected, unable to stop myself, despite knowing that this wasn't about me" which I feel perfectly sums up the protagonist and what his role is in the book. It's always challenging to write such an unlikeable protagonist, especially in a first person narrative, and I had to google the author at one point to make sure it wasn't a man, because this character so perfectly expresses so many of the problems with men who think they are the hero of the story. Personally I would like to read the story from the doctor's point of view, because she seemed like a really cool character. Or the haunted drug addict, or, really, any of the other female characters. But to each her own. The writing style is good, and the premise is interesting, and only about 35% disaster porn, which is refreshing. I feel like the hints of supernatural aspects could have been more plentiful, but I mean, straight up nuclear apocalypse is fine. Anyway. Good book, don't regret spending a credit on it, only mild sleep paralysis horror material.

not what I expected
people complain about the narrators heavy american accent, but it fit perfectly. The leading character was american afterall. great narration, that made you invest in the story and characters. The story as a whole was not what I expected. The premise made it out to be a who done it murder mystery, but what more like a season of The Walking Dead minus the zombies ofcourse. It was a nice story I suppose, just not what I expected.

Brilliant!
Downloaded this after Sarah Parry (The Essex Serpent) recommended it on her instagram feed & I loved it, found it addictive listening, staying up late in the night to keep hearing more! It was tense, thrilling & chilling - what more could you ask for?!
