About the original The Last Thing He Told Me book:

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a letter to his one-year-old wife: «Protect her.» Despite her uncertainty and worry, Hannah Hall recognizes the note’s intended recipient—sixteen-year-old Owen’s daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who sadly lost her mother when she was a youngster. Bailey, who is adamantly opposed to her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly urgent calls to Owen go unanswered, the FBI arrests Owen’s employer, and a US marshal and federal officials come uninvited at her Sausalito house, Hannah believes her husband isn’t who he claims to be. And Bailey just could be the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he went missing in the first place.

Hannah and Bailey went out to find out what was going on. But, as they begin to piece together Owen’s history, they quickly discover they’re also constructing a new future—one neither of them could have predicted.

The Last Thing He Told Me is a compelling mystery that will stun you with its last, sad turn, thanks to its furious pacing, dizzying narrative twists, and powerful family drama.
