The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
4.0
This is my first foray into a Laura Dave novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed her writing.
Part mystery, part drama, part suspense and completely addicting. I had a difficult time putting this book down!
Hannah’s husband Owen Michael has disappeared, not before leaving his wife of 14 months a mysterious note: “Protect her.”
He’s referring to Hannah’s sixteen-year-old step-daughter, Bailey. Bailey barely tolerates Hannah, but with Owen missing, they come together to unlock this strange disappearance.
Hannah and Bailey start to discover that Owen is not who either of them thought he was and as they put together the pieces of his past, they realize a very different future lays before them.
I really enjoyed the relationship-building between step-mother and step-daughter. I found Hannah to be relatable and strong. I felt the author’s wit woven through the story as a sort of comic relief to the serious and heartbreaking elements of the plot.
I would definitely read other works by Laura Dave.
