An instant New York Times bestseller from the author of The Last Thing He Told Me

“Dave’s signature blend of twisty mystery, family drama, and moving love story is top-notch” (The Boston Globe) in this instant New York Times bestseller where estranged siblings chase a fifty-year-old family secret that shaped their father’s mysterious life—and death…

“Pulse pounding suspense and moving family drama” —People

“The perfect mix of heart-pounding and heartfelt…Dave delivers yet another suspenseful page-turner that should be a book club staple for a long time to come.” —New York Post

Nora Noone’s father was many things to many people. To the public he was a self-made titan of industry, whose luxury boutique hotels were among the most coveted destinations in the world. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving yet distant family man who managed to keep his finances—and his families—separate. But, to Nora, he was always a mystery—especially after his suspicious death at his cliffside home.

Though the authorities insist there was no foul play, Nora and her estranged brother, Sam, believe otherwise. As they form an uneasy alliance to unpack the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father’s past and uncover a family secret that changes everything.

The Night We Lost Him is a “propulsive” (Oprah Daily) must-hear, with a heartbreaking final twist you’ll never see coming.

Love v. Loyalty

Liked the family dynamics - I did guess the culprit, but… hooked for the ending written

Great story!

Loved the main character! But I felt like I knew the Liam!! Such interesting story! Reader was impressive!

Interesting

Very detailed mystery that comes together at the end in a way you could not guess

So so good

Something about this book floored me. Love is hard and yet, so worth it. This book reminds you. Thank you Laura Dave. It was beyond good and good for the soul.

Great story

I thought this book was well written and kept my interest. Agree with another reviewer that is wasn’t quite a mystery but more about the family. That said, I really enjoyed the story. And you can’t go wrong with Julia Whelan. She’s always terrific!

It’s was okay

Story line felt a little dull definitely not on my must read list. Performance isn’t bad but again, kind of dull.

Underwhelming

The book ended and I thought, “that it?” I was a little bored most of the time but pushed through for a good ending, only to be bored with that as well.

The author's descriptions of the various characters shown through their emotionsal responses.

It was well-narrated as well as well-written. Although the story is about types of people I'm unfamiliar with (upper class, serially married and divorced, and ambitious), I found the relationships interesting.

Not bad. Julia Whelan is great as always.

Not bad, story is bit boring for me but Julia Whelan breaths life into the story. This narrator should be recognized more often and have better offers. JW seriously boost sales. When I search and see Julia Whelan, I buy it.

A lot to do about nothing

It was an OK story, actually to me it was a lot to do about nothing.

recommendation: read it
