About this listen

Dr. Evelyn Hart has spent her life untangling the darkest corners of other people’s minds. A respected therapist, she thrives on structure, boundaries, and control. But when a mysterious new patient arrives—one with no records, no name, and an uncanny knowledge of Evelyn’s buried past—her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

The woman knows secrets Evelyn has never spoken aloud. She recalls memories Evelyn has tried to erase. And with every session, the line between doctor and patient dissolves. The recordings don’t match. The files don’t exist. And Evelyn can no longer trust the one person she has always relied on—herself.

As her grip on reality fractures, Evelyn is forced to confront the ghosts she has silenced for decades. But the deeper she goes, the clearer the truth becomes: the most dangerous patient isn’t the stranger across the room—it’s the one inside her own mind.

Dark, unsettling, and impossible to put down, The Last Patient is a psychological thriller that blurs the boundaries between memory and madness, trauma and identity, truth and illusion. Perfect for fans of Alex Michaelides, Lisa Jewell, and Freida McFadden, this chilling novel will keep you questioning until the final word: What happens when the therapist becomes her own case?

I really enjoyed listening to The Last Patient and found it properly gripping, with that slow, creepy unease that keeps you leaning in. The premise is clever and the psychological tension builds nicely, especially as reality starts to wobble and you’re never quite sure who to trust. The narration suits the mood well and makes it easy to get lost in Evellyn’s head, though I’l admit the opening feels a touch measured before it really hits its stride. Once it gets going, though, it’s hard to stop, and I kept making excuses to listen to “just one more chapter”.
