The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

Book Review

Don’t you love it when a book takes place in your hometown?? It’s always such a pleasure reading about characters going to spots I visit on the regular - like Ladybird Lake (pictured here). 🤩

This Reese’s Book Club thriller begins in Sausalito, California. Hannah Hall is living a seemingly perfect life with her husband, Owen, and step-daughter, Bailey. That is until Owen suddenly disappears, leaving behind a note with just two words, “protect her.” As Hannah and Bailey attempt to unravel the mystery behind Owen’s disappearance, their search takes them to Austin, Texas, where they discovers many questionable pieces of evidence about Owen’s identity.

I really enjoyed this one! While the ending wasn’t quite as unexpected or shocking as some other thriller books, it still held my interest all the way through. For those of you that love a good thrill, but don’t particularly like anything too creepy or gory (like me), this is the perfect mystery/domestic thriller.

Despite having a hardcopy of the book, I actually ended up listening to it on audio, which was fabulous, and allowed me to speed through it. Turns out I LOVE a good thriller audiobook. 🤓

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Next up on my spooky season list is The Paper Palace, another Reese’s Book Club thriller selection (she seems to pick a LOT of thrillers). Fingers crossed it’s as good as this one!
