The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

My thoughts

OMG this book was so good. I didn't want to put it down. I had to read it before I can read the next book in this series. 

When Owen goes missing his wife Hannah, and his daughter Bailey, are left with the fallout. The many questions. And it seems the lies. The cover up. Hannah takes Bailey to Austin, TX on a whim. Their lives are never the same after this. So many unanswered questions but also so many are answered. Or figured out. 

This book will grab you and hold you. It holds your heart. Makes you want to know what it is that Owen is hiding and how Hannah will deal with it. How Bailey will learn to live without her father. She's lost her mother already. She seems to dislike Hannah. Until she sees that Hannah has her best interests at heart. That Hannah really cares more for her than anyone. And that Hannah is not going to leave her. 

Hannah and Bailey find a life that they never ever saw coming. But where is Owen. What happened to make him leave them. What kind of secret can possibly be worth leaving your family for???

I can't wait for The First Time I Saw Him. The much anticipated sequel to this book....

About

Before Owen Michaels disappears he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child and wants nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a U.S. marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
