A search for a missing family member unravels secrets and strengthens bonds in this thrilling audiobook The Last Thing He Told Me. With many unanswered questions and unsolved mysteries, how will Hannah and Bailey come together to find the answers they seek?

Writer Laura Dave takes us on an unfolding journey of discovery and revelation. From the first-person perspective of the main character Hannah, the listener uncovers the disappearance of her husband Owen and the mystery surrounding his true identity. The morning his company is accused of security fraud, Owen escapes his arrest by the FBI. Getting away just in time, he is leaving behind his daughter and his new wife Hannah. Stunned and confused by the situation, Hannah must balance uncovering the truth, being a new stepmother and following Owen Michaels’s last instruction–to protect his daughter.

The hype behind The Last Thing He Told Me is more than deserved, with this book being a New York Times best-selling novel, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, and featured on Apple TV. Narrated by Rebecca Lowman, the audiobook was an Audie Award finalist– a quick listen with a suspenseful edge that is sure to be a must-have on your Audible Wish List.

What the critics say

"Rebecca Lowman's methodical performance will hook listeners until the very end of this contemporary mystery. Hannah wakes up one day to find her husband of one year, Owen, has vanished, leaving her a puzzling note: 'Protect her.' Hannah assumes that 'her' refers to Owen's teenage daughter, Bailey, who has despised Hannah from day one. While this is a typical story of two individuals who are at odds being forced to work together, Lowman's portrayals of the characters and the mystery surrounding Owen's secret life will intrigue listeners."

Meh.

Story started off strong but took a sharp turn into ridiculous-land at which time I stopped enjoying it.

Great Story!

My first by this author. Really enjoyed it!! Expected more of a mystery/thriller, but was more mystery drama. Did not disappoint.

Entertaining read

This isn’t a bad “read” if you’re looking for something quick and isn’t too heavy.

Wanted to love it, but I just like it.

I had heard great things about this thriller, but I honestly found it a little bit boring in the second half. A lot of the protagonist, ruminating and hashing over the intricacies of doing this or doing that.

Amazing, gripping, satisfying

My title should say it all, loved this book from end to end.

Can wait to see how the TV show stands up to the story here.
