    About this audiobook

    An instant New York Times bestseller from the author of The Last Thing He Told Me

    “Dave’s signature blend of twisty mystery, family drama, and moving love story is top-notch” (The Boston Globe) in this instant New York Times bestseller where estranged siblings chase a fifty-year-old family secret that shaped their father’s mysterious life—and death…

    “Pulse pounding suspense and moving family drama” —People

    “A master storyteller. You won’t want to miss this one.” —Harlan Coben

    “The perfect mix of heart-pounding and heartfelt…Dave delivers yet another suspenseful page-turner that should be a book club staple for a long time to come.” —New York Post

    Nora Noone’s father was many things to many people. To the public he was a self-made titan of industry, whose luxury boutique hotels were among the most coveted destinations in the world. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving yet distant family man who managed to keep his finances—and his families—separate. But, to Nora, he was always a mystery—especially after his suspicious death at his cliffside home.

    Though the authorities insist there was no foul play, Nora and her estranged brother, Sam, believe otherwise. As they form an uneasy alliance to unpack 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 “signature blend of pulse-pounding suspense” (People) and “trademark emotional heft” (New York Post), The Night We Lost Him is a “propulsive” (Oprah Daily) must-read, with a heartbreaking final twist you’ll never see coming.

    Editor's Note

    Rife with drama…

    Two grieving siblings must piece together their late father’s mysterious past and determine if his death was an accident (as authorities claim) or an act of cold-blooded murder. Rife with family drama and delicious suspense, Dave’s slow-burn mystery unravels a tangled web of long-held lies and secrets.

    • 2/5
      Intriguing storyline but I absolutely detested the character of Cori.
    • 5/5
      Twists and turns of complex story lines from the past and the present. Intriguing and unpredictable- will keep you invested in the outcome for the characters and trying to solve the pieces of the mystery until the very end. Well written & narrated.
    • 5/5
      A little slow at first but pulls you in and you never guess the ending. Goes through a lot of emotions!
    • 5/5
      Kept my interest. Enjoyed the complex characters. I enjoy when authors describe locations I’m familiar with.
    • 5/5
      Amazing story. Kept me engaged through the entire book. Excellent narration by Julia Whelan!
    • 5/5
      Couldn't stop listening and was sad for the last sentence.

      I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Nora and Sam, how their characters unfolded. But I especially loved the unveiling of and retelling of Liam and Cory's beautiful history.

      I was glad that Ms Dave concentrated on expanding the characters and their details to a few leads and not leaving some to be a supporting cast.

      I suspected who pushed Liam a few different times. The revealing of who did and why was touching.

      Ms. Whalen narration, as always, was beautifully done. Pure perfection!
    • 3/5
      This is not a thriller, or a twisty mystery, it’s more like a police procedure without the police. If you’ve seen an episode of law and order, then you’ve seen this book. Disappointed.

      Completely underwhelming , the story was not interesting to me. It was an easy listen because the narrator was amazing.
