Publisher's summary

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

“Drama, mystery, and intrigue” (PureWow) unfold in this instant New York Times bestseller about estranged siblings chasing a fifty-year-old secret that shaped their father’s mysterious life—and death—in this “emotionally charged and unforgettable story” (E!) from the author of The Last Thing He Told Me.

Liam Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar—notably, a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast where he fell to his death.

The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora and her estranged brother Sam have other ideas. As Nora and Sam form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father’s past and uncover a family secret that changes everything.

With Laura Dave’s trademark blend of soulful suspense and evocative family drama, The Night We Lost Him is a riveting book with a heartbreaking final twist that you will never see coming.

Narrator is incredible

Good story. Great narrator. I really enjoyed it. Julia Whalen is my favorite narrator. I listen to all she narrates that’s how I found this book.

Slow moving

I loved Julia’s performance, but the story itself fell flat for me. It was very slow moving so I had trouble connecting with the characters.

Kept Me Guessing

There was a smooth transition to the backstory and just enough information to support the story without giving the story away.

Confusion

The descriptions got to be too much. They just went on and on. Maybe too descriptive.

Love v. Loyalty

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