A Novel
by Laura Dave
From the author of The Last Thing He Told Me—the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick—comes a riveting mystery wrapped in an epic love story.
When the patriarch of a famed hotel empire dies under suspicious circumstances, his daughter and her estranged brother join forces to find out what happened, unraveling a larger mystery about who their father really was.
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 from which 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 combination of soulful suspense and evocative family drama, The Night We Lost Him is a riveting page-turner with a heartbreaking final twist that you will never see coming.
"Unfortunately, save for Nora, the inconsistent characters often feel less considered than Dave's descriptions of decor and dining. It's a mixed bag." —Publishers Weekly
"A promising blueprint for a book that didn't quite get written." —Kirkus Reviews
"[A] compelling, family-driven mystery… Dave should have another hit on her hands with this involving tale." —Booklist
"The Night We Lost Him promises to serve up Dave's signature blend of pulse-pounding suspense and moving family drama." —PEOPLE
"Dave is the founder and master of a new kind of thriller. One that sets love, not death, at the fulcrum. A tour de force of emotion." —Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of Expiration Dates and In Five Years
