Don’t miss the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick that’s sold 3 million copies strong—now an Apple TV+ limited series 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.

“Don’t ask a question you don’t want the answer to.” A gripping, unputdownable whirlwind ride with a ton of tension and a mysterious plot. And even though this story is so action-packed it also made me cry so hard when I finished the last page! Despite all the amazing twists, this is also a heart-wrenching love story about an introverted, artsy woman who never believed in true love—until she meets her husband. But then she realizes she knows nothing about his true identity. Hannah narrates events in the present, but we also get some flashbacks of some snippets during her marriage to Owen. It helped that Hannahs emotions throughout  are subtle, real, and honest. Hannah and Bailey’s journey—chasing the truth and defining their dysfunctional stepmother-daughter relationship—was one of the most powerful elements of the book and I loved them hunting for clues and doing all the detective work. This was my first but definitely not last Laura Dave book. Her writing style, the characters, the plot, and the pacing felt authentic.  While the mystery of Owen’s past is intriguing, the strength of this book lies in the characters. I will definitely watch the series on prime.
