Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated.
With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a riveting mystery, certain to shock you with its final, heartbreaking turn.

Nicholas isn't wrong about any of that.He may not even bewrong about me.If I choose to wade into the chasm of doubt Nicholas wants to create about Owen,it won't be hard to go there.Owenisn't who I thought he was,at least not in the details.There are partsI wish didn't exist,parts I can't look away from now.In one way or another,this is the deal we all sign when we love someone.For better or worse.It's the deal we have to sign again and again to keep that love.We don't turn away from the parts of someone we don't wantto see.However quickly or long it takes to see them.We accept them if we are strong enough.Or we accept them enough to not let the bad parts become the entire story.

本书为2021年度goodreads读者评选的悬疑小说第一名（20本榜单前不久新鲜出炉）。 花了几个晚上看完，个人读感70分吧；我还没看榜单上的其它小说，但大致上能猜测/理解为什么这一本荣登榜首——有新意。 这个新意不在叙事结构、不在谜题设定、不在悬疑诡计，而在于最后给出的解套手法颇出人意料，迥异于以往同类型小说的结局：要么大团圆，要么大悲剧。 虽出人意料，却也在情理之中，其精神内核还是在强... 本书为2021年度goodreads读者评选的悬疑小说第一名（20本榜单前不久新鲜出炉）。 花了几个晚上看完，个人读感70分吧；我还没看榜单上的其它小说，但大致上能猜测/理解为什么这一本荣登榜首——有新意。 这个新意不在叙事结构、不在谜题设定、不在悬疑诡计，而在于最后给出的解套手法颇出人意料，迥异于以往同类型小说的结局：要么大团圆，要么大悲剧。 虽出人意料，却也在情理之中，其精神内核还是在强调一种“个体选择”，这种选择是自由的，但也是必须取舍的。取舍之间，便有了几分现实意义，也有了几分悲剧力量。 整本小说叙事流畅、文通字顺、简明易读。 (展开)

名不副实的榜一。人物单薄，情节普通。仿佛是在玩游戏做任务一样地发现线索。npc们只不过是推动剧情发展的工具人。与其说女主深爱男主，还不如说是因为童年缺失母爱，导致看到继女就原地代入老母亲角色。 问题的关键全在小女孩身上，而小女孩却甚至没有机会做一次自己的决定。

前面部分靠悬疑还能吸引住人，后面就越来越矫情和啰嗦，完全没办法共情。

我挺喜欢跟某个地方有关的thriller，这里是Sausalito和Austin。一个失踪的爸爸/丈夫，一个16岁的姑娘和她的继母。追踪的桥段满寻常无奇，也没有什么惊天的阴谋阳谋，但是，最后一章，最后一章！The last thing he told her. 受不了！！泪崩x10000
