The no.1 New York Times bestseller
Now a major TV series Starring Jennifer Garner
It was the last thing he told me: protect her
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his new wife, Hannah: protect her. Hannah knows exactly who Owen needs her to protect - his teenage daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As her desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn't who he said he was. And that Bailey might hold the key to discovering Owen's true identity, and why he disappeared. Together they set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen's past, they soon realise that their lives will never be the same again...
A beautiful and thrilling mystery, perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng.

Waiting for the twist
Well written and interesting but just quite predictable. I didn’t really get why the main character had the skills to solve a mystery like this, or why she needed to. Plus terrible ending

Not bad for a short easy listening novel
This was a decent story, relatively short and average for easy listening. Definitely keeps your attention. The audiobook performance is very heavy and breathy voice - all the time - so gets a little annoying. Overall, an average listen and nothing unpleasant.

Long winded, drawling, repetitive and tiring
I wish I could be kinder, but really this was a waste of my time. Constantly repeated phrases ‘what are you talking about’ ‘he says’ ‘I said’ pad out this story that hardly has any true excitement or thrills. The ending was ok, as good as it could be I suppose, however the motives of the characters were sketchy and not satisfactory. A complex puzzle certainly, very much US centric of course. Hannah, the wood turner, is a realist challenged by the initially unexplainable disappearances her husband who she thought she knew. A man called Nicholas Ball is introduced as a Bad Man but comes across as caring and loving. A Texas Marshal knows what’s best but does he? So many people to register. Bailey is the best and ultimately likeable… you may like it more than I did.

An enjoyable listen
I enjoyed this and was very listenable! However, as a thriller fan, I wasn't blown away!

Great Start but Weak Ending
If you liked Gone Girl then you’ll like this. I enjoyed the half of the book but the ending is a bit of a disappointment. The writer missed a chance to finish it with a bang.
Loved the narration. Very good voice actresses.

Enjoyed it!
Top tip: Listen at 1.2 or 1.5 x speed.
Firstly, when I first started this book, I really struggled to get into it. I found the the narration painfully slow. After about 5 or 6 attempts at starting this book, having seen an advert for the new Apple TV series, I resolved that I MUST finish it. Having read other reviews stating that the narrator was just too slow, I decided to try setting the speed faster, and that REALLY helped.
Secondly; I don’t think the good or bad reviews are wrong either way. I think you have to read / listen to this book to find out for yourself whether you like it; it’s one of those types of books. For me personally, I enjoyed it. It’s not a complex story or particularly challenging. It keeps you interested just enough to finish it.
For me; this really is a story about two women learning to create a new family of their own. Learning to trust and learning to love. I am not ashamed to admit that the ending did have me welling up, which I was not expecting in all honesty.
I enjoyed the story, but by around mid-way through I had pretty much figured out what had happened, but listened through anyway.
The ending felt a little rushed (and not because I was playing it at speed!) no, the ending felt rushed because it takes up about 30 mins of an entire book. I enjoyed the ride but at times, the discoveries felt a little too easy and convenient.
Overall I enjoyed the book. It was an OK read. Simple story, easy to follow (narrator excluded). I still want to watch the TV series, so it’s clearly kept me interested!
