Bookseller recommendation
“I will add my voice to the chorus. I loved this book! For the characters, the story, the architecture, and family relationships. Brought beautifully to life by reader Julia Whelan, there is a murder, maybe, to be solved--and this kept me pacing around finding things to clean so I could keep listening -- but the deeper story is about the lives of the people closest to us and how little or much we know or understand. ”

“My first Laura Dave, and definitely not my last! A slow-burn mystery with stories of love & loss intertwined. It grabbed me from the start and I could not put down. Told in alternating timelines, Dave prompts readers to ponder if we really have to know someone to love them, and if those we love ever truly leave us. One of my favorites of the year! Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and The White Lotus! ”

“The Night We Lost Him is such a good read! I didn't want to put it down, but felt none of the anxiety or nail-biting tension that can often come with thrillers. It's atmospheric, insightful, and reflective - all while giving us an emotional mystery. While the book does focus on a kind of maybe murder mystery, it's also very much about who we are versus who we want to be, both publicly and privately. It's about the choices we make again and again and how we can change those choices and our path in life. It's a love story, but also a story about grief. Laura Dave's writing is lovely, the characters are wonderfully three-dimensional, and I loved the architectural bits as well. Highly recommend!”

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 father’s 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.
Laura Dave is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Last Thing He Told Me and Eight Hundred Grapes. Her novels have been translated into thirty-eight languages, and six of them, including The Night We Lost Him, have been optioned for film and television. She resides in Santa Monica, California.
