One day your husband disappears—leaving no explanation, only a note that says, “Protect her.”
This is the nightmare Hannah Hall faces in Laura Dave’s gripping novel, The Last Thing He Told Me. Before she can even begin to understand what’s happening, the FBI shows up at her door, her husband’s boss is arrested for fraud, and she’s suddenly left to care for her sixteen-year-old stepdaughter who wants nothing to do with her.
But when the past begins to crack open, Hannah realizes she never really knew the man she married—and that some secrets are buried deep for a reason.
“When someone disappears from your life, they leave behind two things: everything they taught you, and everything they didn’t tell you.”
This isn’t just a thriller—it’s a story about trust, motherhood, and what we choose to protect when everything falls apart. As Hannah peels back the layers of Owen’s life, she uncovers a truth more dangerous—and more human—than she ever expected.
