The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave: This is a suspenseful, heart-gripping story about a woman who, after she finally finding the love of her life, her husband disappears. Following his last request, she must do whatever she can to protect her stepdaughter as her husband’s secrets are revealed. The author strategically drips out information, making this book a page-turner. You will stay up way too late so you can find out more. I don’t want to give much away, but when Hannah Hall’s husband disappears, she and her stepdaughter take a journey to find him. They discover the man they knew as husband and father was a man full of secrets and a hidden past. Hannah has guts, she’s heroic in her endeavors, and has a patient, loving heart toward her often belligerent stepdaughter. The ending was sad but satisfying.
