Review: Thriller Book - LOVED this book!!! I finished it just as the second one was coming out (I started it January 1st and finished it January 3rd) the new one was released on January 6th!! A perfect combination of what is going on, girl chill, wait WHAT and OH MY GOSH!
Review: Cinematic cat and mouse thriller with pointed themes - I was looking for a sorbet book for the in-between, was hoping for a high-end but low-pressure novel. When I read that much of this story takes place in Austin, I sprung for it. After the first ten pages, I thought I made a mistake, but I continued, anyway. Glad I did, and allowed the story to build. I was delighted that the plot wasn’t trite or simplistic beyond the bare surface. This is largely a thematic story of love and trust. Hannah, a thirty-eight-year-old stepmother of a sixteen-year-old girl, Bailey, is forced to bond with her in ways that she desired, yet never achieved; Hannah was repeatedly rejected by the girl. Owen, Hanna’s husband of one year, always had faith that Bailey and Hannah would eventually connect. Hanna and Bailey remain the core relationship in the book. In the opening chapter, a middle-school messenger comes to the door with a note from Owen to Hannah. There are only two words written: “Protect her.” Owen, however, is gone, fled, run off, and Hannah has no clue to the whereabouts of her missing husband, or why he left. This forces the issue of Bailey and Hannah’s relationship to define and refine itself. Can they be a source of support to each other? Can they find Owen? Owen’s departure initially drives a further wedge between Hannah and Bailey. However, survival and the search for Owen depend on the two working together under baffling and dreadful circumstances. The FBI, a U.S. Marshal, and people at The Shop (where Owen works--a software start-up) pursue Hannah with questions and demands. Some at the Shop, like the owner, have been arrested for fraud and embezzlement. In quick time, it turns into a cat-and-mouse adventure, taking Hannah and Bailey from Sausalito (where they live) to Austin, Texas (where I live). The plot is exciting and packed with adventure, suspense, and thrills. Owen’s past, difficult to mine, reveals him as a cipher, with rumors of criminal behavior. All that Hannah can depend on is her faith in the two years that she’s known her husband. He walked into her woodturner business (like wood sculpting) and they fell in love soon after. Hannah has never doubted, not for a minute, Owen’s love and devotion to her and Bailey. Admittedly, the growth of Bailey and Hannah’s relationship is a bit twee, and the distance that is reported between them initially is not as edgy or intense as we are told. Bailey’s pseudo-hostility is transparent, too on-the-nose. We understand that Bailey has a big heart from the start--perhaps a more realistic animosity from Bailey would have been too offensive for some readers? The author seemed determined that we like Hannah and Bailey, unquestionably. Hannah never deters from excusing Bailey’s bratty behaviors, either, but she bent over backwards too frequently for belief. Despite plot holes and a big ask to suspend belief, THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME is entertaining and cinematic. I was never bored, and I was stirred by the closing scenes, too. Moreover, there's a polished delicacy to Dave's writing and a warm voice that appealed to me. It's a popcorn book, not literature. A movie is already in the works, starring Julia Roberts. 3.5 (even if 2.75 for believability)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tight Plot with Real Characters and Can't Put Down Story
*by J***E on August 16, 2025*

I have to be honest -- this is not the sort of novel I would normally read. I definitely don't do book club reads. And yet... There was something about the synopsis that appealed to me. The story of a newlywed whose husband disappears, leaving her alone with his teenage daughter who can't stand her. And the last thing he tells her is in a note that reads just two words. "Protect her." Okay. I'm hooked. This isn't going to be your usual Book-club-story-with-a-message kind of artsy fartsy story. And it wasn't. A thriller that captured my attention and kept me turning the pages until I'd finished. Hell, i was up until 2 AM reading because I could not put the damn thing down. A tight plot that had twists and turns that takes you along for a ride. With just enough of the past creeping in to fill in the gaps. a The characters are nuanced, layered. Emotionally invested in the story to be true to it. They are real with flaws and insecurities about whether they're doing the right thing or following the right path. They grieve the loss and learn to turn to each other, an evolving relationship between Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey, as they make their way to the truth. And when it finally comes, a dance with the devil. What wasn't to love about that book? And a sequel coming in January, 2026. A must read, I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
