The Last Thing He Told Me A Novel by Laura Dave

1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick that’s sold over 2 million copies–now an Apple TV+ limited series starring Jennifer Garner!

Moments before Owen Michaels vanishes, he covertly slips a note to his cherished wife of one year: "Protect her." In the midst of confusion and trepidation, Hannah Hall discerns precisely to whom the message alludes—Owen's sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. A young girl who, having experienced the tragic loss of her mother in childhood, harbors an aversion toward her new stepmother and desires no connection whatsoever.

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.
