The Last One: A Novel by Will Dean. Emily Bestler Books, Atria, Simon & Schuster 2023. Adult mystery/thriller. When Caroline Ripley and her partner board the HMS Atlantica in Southampton, England for a week's cruise to New York, she has no idea that her adventure will take a deadly turn. After a delicious dinner the first night, Caroline (Caz) wakes up to find that she is alone. As she searches the ship, three other people do turn up: Frannie, a younger woman; Danny, a Korean American whose handyman knowledge becomes helpful; and Smith, an older gentleman who can be rather critical and snide.
Not to give away too much, let's just say that the adventure takes off as the group find they should cooperate in order to contact land and get themselves off the ship. Nothing is as it seems. Even in the very last chapter, the author has tricks up his sleeve!
