Book Overview: 

Laura Dave’s The Last Thing He Told Me is a gripping domestic thriller and emotional family drama that explores the nature of trust, identity, and the secrets we keep to protect the ones we love. When Hannah Hall’s husband, Owen Michaels, suddenly disappears, he leaves behind a cryptic note with just four words: Protect her. The “her” in question is Bailey, Owen’s 16-year-old daughter and Hannah’s reluctant stepdaughter.

As federal agents and mysterious figures begin to circle, it becomes clear that Owen was not who he claimed to be. With Bailey as her only ally, Hannah embarks on a desperate search for the truth, unraveling clues that lead them from Sausalito to Austin and into Owen’s shadowy past. Along the way, the tense relationship between Hannah and Bailey evolves into something more trusting and deeply human, even as their world begins to unravel.

Told in fast paced prose with emotional depth, the novel masterfully blends suspense with heartfelt storytelling. Dave skillfully raises questions about loyalty, sacrifice, and the ties that bind families whether by blood or by choice.

The Last Thing He Told Me is both a mystery and a love story, a tale of resilience and reinvention that keeps readers hooked until the final, satisfying revelation.
