The no.1 New York Times bestseller

Now a major TV series Starring Jennifer Garner

It was the last thing he told me: protect her

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his new wife, Hannah: protect her. Hannah knows exactly who Owen needs her to protect - his teenage daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As her desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn't who he said he was. And that Bailey might hold the key to discovering Owen's true identity, and why he disappeared. Together they set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen's past, they soon realise that their lives will never be the same again...

A beautiful and thrilling mystery, perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng.

Waiting for the twist

Well written and interesting but just quite predictable. I didn’t really get why the main character had the skills to solve a mystery like this, or why she needed to. Plus terrible ending

Not bad for a short easy listening novel

This was a decent story, relatively short and average for easy listening. Definitely keeps your attention. The audiobook performance is very heavy and breathy voice - all the time - so gets a little annoying. Overall, an average listen and nothing unpleasant.

Long winded, drawling, repetitive and tiring

I wish I could be kinder, but really this was a waste of my time. Constantly repeated phrases ‘what are you talking about’ ‘he says’ ‘I said’ pad out this story that hardly has any true excitement or thrills. The ending was ok, as good as it could be I suppose, however the motives of the characters were sketchy and not satisfactory. A complex puzzle certainly, very much US centric of course. Hannah, the wood turner, is a realist challenged by the initially unexplainable disappearances her husband who she thought she knew. A man called Nicholas Ball is introduced as a Bad Man but comes across as caring and loving. A Texas Marshal knows what’s best but does he? So many people to register. Bailey is the best and ultimately likeable… you may like it more than I did.

Predictable

Good writing and narration but it wasn’t amazing. Very similar to a lot of other books out there and slightly predictable. If you want an easy listen this is perfect .
