Hannah begins searching for her husband, only to discover along the way that he was lying about his past. Owen’s boss has been arrested, and Owen himself has vanished after leaving Hannah a note that reads, “protect her.” Hannah learns the tech start up he’s been working at, The Shop, has been raided by the FBI for fraud after lying about their product and cheating investors out of billions of dollars. Two years after their wedding, Owen fails to come home from work and stops answering his phone. When Hannah Hall marries single dad Owen, she struggles to connect to his distant teenage daughter, Bailey.
It’s a fascinating book, but not a dark one, and I think it will appeal to a lot of readers who want to wade into the genre without worrying about potentially upsetting themes.
The Last Thing He Told Me is an excellently plotted psychological thriller, but unlike many books in that genre it has no violence, gore or abuse. The next time I looked up I had finished The Last Thing He Told Me and, aside from my reading light, the house was pitch dark. At some point I remember my husband telling me he was going to bed and me telling him I’d be right up. I am writing this while sleep deprived, guzzling a cold brew, having stayed up all night reading.
