Publishers Weekly Loves The Last One Home!

March 22, 2021 by Victoria

The Publishers Weekly review of The Last One Home is in!

Stone gradually reveals her multifaceted characters’ secrets as the intricate, fast-paced plot builds to a surprising conclusion. 

After Lauren Abrams, the protagonist of this unsettling psychological thriller from Stone (False Step), breaks up with her boyfriend in L.A., she returns home to Sacramento, Calif., where her 90-year-old paternal grandmother is in the hospital recovering from a stroke. When her grandmother offers to sell Lauren the family ranch outside the city, she accepts. While renovating the ranch house, Lauren receives a letter from serial killer Bobby Edward Kepnick regarding a murder for which her father, Michael, was imprisoned for 10 years decades ago. Kepnick’s confession to the murder led to Michael’s release. Lauren remains estranged from her mother, Donna, whose testimony helped convict her father. Flashbacks beginning in 1985 chart the fraught relationship between Donna and Michael. As Lauren digs deeper into her family’s history, she uncovers things that leave her questioning everything she thought she knew about her father’s family. Stone gradually reveals her multifaceted characters’ secrets as the intricate, fast-paced plot builds to a surprising conclusion. Fans of dark, twisted tales of dysfunctional families will be satisfied.

Up Close Interview with The Big Thrill!

March 2, 2021 by Victoria

by Angela Channell

“In THE LAST ONE HOME, the latest title by Jane Doe author Victoria Helen Stone, nobody can be trusted. Least of all your family.

Lies and the choosing of whose truth to believe has driven a wedge between mother and daughter Lauren and Donna Abrams, Stone’s steely protagonists. It’s through their voices that we alternately hear of how Lauren came to want nothing to do with Donna, whose spurious testimony sent Lauren’s father to prison for murder years ago…

Victoria sits in front of a bookshelf, smiling toward window

The novel is psychologically complex due to these two competing voices, which Stone attributes to wanting to convey the real-life complexity of secrets and truth. “I really wanted to examine the truth as a three-dimensional object that can’t be entirely seen by one set of eyes,” she says. “Lauren views her mother through the lens of the difficult and twisted life they lived together. That’s all she can see. But Donna’s narrative offers an utterly different story from an utterly different woman than ‘Lauren’s mom.’”
