Last to Leave

Richards, Teresa


A trendy, fast-paced mystery for fans of the Knives Out movies as well as Netflix's The Residence . Video game streamer Fallon joins a 1920s-themed murder mystery game, and the only thing more important than figuring out whodunit is who has the most fans. When seventeen-year-old up-and-coming video game streamer and content creator, Fallon, earns a coveted spot in the new murder-mystery reality game, SleuthIt, her objective seems pretty straightforward: play the game, solve the mystery, and win the million-dollar prize. The fact that she'll do it all on livestream with seven other young content creators only makes things better--after all, increased exposure is influencer gold, and winning will catapult her gaming channel to the next level. But unbeknownst to each other, the contestants are interconnected, and when one of them turns out to be Fallon's online gaming partner, Dante, she starts to doubt the objective of the game. The intrigue runs much deeper than Fallon ever thought--the eight contestants chosen for the show are not the only players in the game, and the interlopers have hidden agendas and competing interests. As secrets come out and the lines between ally and adversary blur, Fallon will have to figure out what game she's really playing, who might be playing her, and what she's willing to sacrifice in pursuit of fame and fortune. Because, in the end, no one can have it all.
