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.

After hearing that Reese Witherspoon was turning this into a series, I was excited to read it. However the narrator’s voice is extremely underwhelming and monotone. She didn’t quite grasp the suspense or build in atmosphere. Her voice made me feel uninterested and made me sleepy! The storyline is a constant journey of mystery solving with a dramatic and heart wrenching ending. Maybe it would’ve been better to read the book. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the series.

Story suspense and build let down by the narrator!

An interesting and unusual story, kept me thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Loved the main character and ultimately felt so much of it was a love story. Of strength and family and not giving up on the people you love. Great listen.

Gripping. Loved it.
