Description

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 fathers 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 page-turner with a heartbreaking final twist that you will never see coming.

    Wordy, contrived plot with over wrought characters. But I did finish it.
  • Somewhat on the fence…

    This isn’t a mystery/suspense novel and it’s not romance either. But all heavily influence the plot. I’m not sure what to make of the book. Usually there are breadcrumbs leading to who done it but this comes out of left field. Sure the reveal is plausible but not as satisfying. It’s a good book.
  • Very relatable

    Some young loves will forever hold that torch and their love supersedes all other love. Their timing is usually off in their attempt to get back together and to come out to the world about their profound and decades long love yet as life goes, it rarely happens: I have a very similar experience to this specific decades long love for someone who was my very best half my everything and yet I still married another had kids and mo matter how long it would be until we would reunite those feelings were always there and so so hard to keep at bay
  • Twists and turns - great ending
