Description

Don’t miss the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick that’s sold over 3 million copies—now streaming on Apple TV+ starring Jennifer Garner!

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.

    I felt that the story could have been flushed out more. There were a few things that were not really finished. I feel like the author spent too much time on building up suspense without hashing out all of the dramatic moments. The ending was great but seemed premature.

    The narrative, the voice… I was drawn into this world and story. The author did a fantastic job of creating natural dialogue, developing the characters subtly, going back and forth between them and now.. it was truly an easy and addicting read!
  • So-so story

    Meh…not anything special. Story with some editing errors in early chapters and a historical timeline with OxyContin that doesn’t make sense. I wouldn’t recommend.

    I couldn’t put this book down. Characters are important to me and this author did a great job of describing each one. I was able to imagine how each person looked. I’ve lived in California most of my life, visited Austin a few times. I enjoy books that take me to where I have familiarity. The length of the book was perfect. Story kept moving even with its twists and turns. Give it a try. You won’t be sorry.
