Description

An instant New York Times bestseller from the author of The Last Thing He Told Me

“Dave’s signature blend of twisty mystery, family drama, and moving love story is top-notch” (The Boston Globe) in this instant New York Times bestseller where estranged siblings chase a fifty-year-old family secret that shaped their father’s mysterious life—and death…

“Pulse pounding suspense and moving family drama” —People

“A master storyteller. You won’t want to miss this one.” —Harlan Coben

“The perfect mix of heart-pounding and heartfelt…Dave delivers yet another suspenseful page-turner that should be a book club staple for a long time to come.” —New York Post

Nora Noone’s father was many things to many people. To the public he was a self-made titan of industry, whose luxury boutique hotels were among the most coveted destinations in the world. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving yet distant family man who managed to keep his finances—and his families—separate. But, to Nora, he was always a mystery—especially after his suspicious death at his cliffside home.

Though the authorities insist there was no foul play, Nora and her estranged brother, Sam, believe otherwise. As they form an uneasy alliance to unpack the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father’s past and uncover a family secret that changes everything.

With Laura Dave’s “signature blend of pulse-pounding suspense” (People) and “trademark emotional heft” (New York Post), The Night We Lost Him is a “propulsive” (Oprah Daily) must-read, with a heartbreaking final twist you’ll never see coming.

    Probably the best book I’ve ever read and definitely the best book I’ve read this year. Excuse me as I wipe my eyes and blow my nose. Laura Dave, I can’t wait for your next novel. I waited, not so patiently, for this one after binge reading everything you’ve written before it.

    Wordy, contrived plot with over wrought characters. But I did finish it.
  • Somewhat on the fence…

    This isn’t a mystery/suspense novel and it’s not romance either. But all heavily influence the plot. I’m not sure what to make of the book. Usually there are breadcrumbs leading to who done it but this comes out of left field. Sure the reveal is plausible but not as satisfying. It’s a good book.
  • Very relatable

    Some young loves will forever hold that torch and their love supersedes all other love. Their timing is usually off in their attempt to get back together and to come out to the world about their profound and decades long love yet as life goes, it rarely happens: I have a very similar experience to this specific decades long love for someone who was my very best half my everything and yet I still married another had kids and mo matter how long it would be until we would reunite those feelings were always there and so so hard to keep at bay
  • Twists and turns - great ending
