Lisa Unger has another solid thriller out, with Last Girl Ghosted following Confessions on the 7:45 onto the list of woman-in-danger thrillers. I’m not the intended demographic, being totally not interested in dating apps, quickie hookups, or advice bloggers, but I was quickly taken in by the story. (TBH I did find myself getting annoyed as happens when I read about  strong female characters getting all whiny and clingy as they search for a man — sometimes ANY man).

In this case, a popular blog/podcast combo “Dear Birdie” is rolling along successfully, and the creator, a smart young woman named Wren, wants a man in her life. She meets Adam through an online app, and finds herself caring deepl;y and revealing her innermost thoughts to him — then she is ghosted. Not only is he not at his home (which turns out to be a vacation rental), his phone is disconnected and his online profiles are all gone. Then, she is visited by an investigator who is trying to find “Adam” in connection with the disappearance of several young women. Rather than just dodge a bullet and get on with her life, she continues the search, even as the reality begins to be clear. She really does want to be the “Last Girl Ghosted” by this guy. 

Well done, another enjoyable Lisa Unger thriller. Four stars.
