What I’m Reading: The Last Thing He Told Me

Laura Dave killed it with this one. It wasn’t too long and drawn out, which I appreciate. I love the suspense and the plot twists, but I despise when authors drawwwwwwww it out. The pace was perfect for my taste. I listened to it via Audiobooks, and the narrator was okay. I wouldn’t recommend her alone, but it would be hard to screw up this book. I really loved it, and the characters. Hannah and Bailey become closer and an important part of each other’s world and heart by the conclusion. This book pulls on the heart strings and also is a definite page turner.

The “page-turning, exhilarating” (PopSugar) and “heartfelt thriller” (Real Simple) about a woman who thinks she’s found the love of her life—until he disappears.

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.

Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated.

With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a “page-turning, exhilarating, and unforgettable” (PopSugar) suspense novel.
