A window had been broken while Parker was fighting with another woman, which Luce saw and reported to Avery. These incidences force Avery to recall more details from the night of the Plus-One party. As she tries to put the pieces together, someone is breaking into the Lomans' rental properties, Blue Robin being the first to get ransacked. Avery begins piecing the puzzle together, which means having to confront the other people on Detective Collins' list of suspects: Connor, Parker, and Parker's now-ex girlfriend, Luce. This compels Avery to seek the truth about Sadie's death, which begins to look less like suicide and more like homicide. There is also a picture of Connor on Sadie's phone, which backs the rumors told by local Greg Randolph that Sadie and Connor were secretly seeing each other prior to Sadie's death. As Avery later finds out, this is the spot where her parents were killed and grandmother mildly injured in a car crash over a decade ago. Avery unlocks the cellphone and finds a series of photographs, including one of Harbor Drive, the only road that leads into and out of Littleport. She also digs through a chest in the master bedroom and finds, buried deep beneath a pile of linens and blankets, Sadie's cellphone.
Avery goes to Blue Robin and takes out a box of her old keepsakes. Avery, as Parker's unofficial assistant, is tasked with helping to write a dedication article and provide a picture of Sadie. Avery begins to doubt whether Sadie actually killed herself.Ī year after Sadie's death, the Lomans have established a suicide prevention program and are dedicating a brass bell to Sadie at a ceremony in Littleport. Sadie's spoiled and aloof brother, Parker, is one of the suspects, as is Connor Harlow, Avery's former friend and romantic interest. Sadie's initial cause of death is listed as suicide, but the police - in particular, Detective Ben Collins - still treat Avery and several other party-goers as suspects. After the electricity goes out and a girl is pushed into the pool by a shadowy figure fleeing the rental property (Blue Robin), the police arrive and announce that Sadie Loman has been found deceased on nearby Breaker Beach. She gets a "." text message response from Sadie, indicating that she is typing something. Avery Greer, a property manager for the wealthy Loman family, waits for her best friend, Sadie Loman, to arrive at Littleport's annual Plus-One party. The book commences in the midst of the Plus-One party in 2017. Miranda divides The Last House Guest into 30 chapters set in the late summer of 2018, multiple flashback scenes to the Plus-One Party in the summer of 2017, and a concluding scene in the summer of 2019. The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Miranda, Megan.
