When Hannah
is handed a note that says, “protect her”, she does just that. Her husband Owen
has gone missing, she is left with her stepdaughter Bailey, a teenager with an
attitude, and Hannah must find to a way to figure out what just happened. She is
on rocky ground with Bailey, but vows to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
When the Marshalls and FBI come knocking, and Hannah does not know who to
trust, she has one choice and that is to run. When she finds out that her
husband really is not who he said he was, she trusts her instincts and gets
deeper into the web of deceit. Will Hannah end up trusting the authorities, or
will she turn to the one man who has the power to destroy them but also the
power to keep them safe.
This was
such an amazing story. I loved the relationship between Hannah and Bailey and
how they had to learn to trust each other to find out what really happened to
Owen. As much as the story was about the disappearance of Owen, it was about a
relationship between a stepmother and daughter. There were many surprises along
the way as the mystery unravels which I loved. I could not put this book down.
Laura Dave is a new author for me, but I will definitely be picking up her
other novels to read as I adored her writing style. My thanks to Simon &
Schuster Publishing, Netgalley and Laura Dave for an advanced copy of the book
to read and review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Laura Dave is the international bestselling author of several novels including Eight Hundred Grapes and The First Husband . Her work has been published in eighteen countries and five of her novels, including The Last Thing He Told Me, have been optioned for film and television. She resides in Santa Monica.
