A chilling thriller as compulsive as Emma Cline's The Girls.
It's the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary lake, a holiday haven on the US-Canadian border. Families relax in the heat, happy and carefree. Hours tick away to the sound of radios playing 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Children run along the beach as the heady smell of barbecues fills the air. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan, with their long, tanned legs and silky hair, relish their growing reputation as the red and blond Lolitas. Life seems idyllic.
But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over...

This book is incredible... How have I never heard of Andrée Michaud before? -- Sam Baker * The Pool *
This felt like a grown-up version of crime fiction with plenty of layers and issues to ponder which in many ways lends itself to a more contemplative reading experience than most crime fiction -- Cleo Bannister * Cleopatra Loves Books *
The Last Summer is fierce and penetrating, with an otherworldly feel, it is quite simply, a wonderfully fascinating read -- Liz Robinson * LoveReadingUK *
a deeply evocative, exquisitely written character study that will stay with me for a long time. I adored it -- Chris Whitaker, Author of Tall Oaks and All The Wicked Girls, winner of the CWA New Blood Dagger
There is a sinuous grace to Michaud's writing, an elegance which elevates the elementary plot -- Rabeea Saleem * Storgy *
