Sometimes those we love hide the darkest secrets. From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick The Last Thing He Told Me.

One beautiful Californian evening, a wealthy businessman falls to his death from his secluded cliff-top house onto the rocks below.

A tragic accident? Or murder?

Nora and her half-brother Sam suspect it may be the latter, and team up to uncover the truth of what really happened that night.

But their relationship has never been easy, and it is about to be tested to the limit as they start to question how well either of them really knew their elusive father.

Unravelling his mysterious past takes them back to a world they knew nothing about, to a tangled love affair and a web of relationships that other people would far rather stay buried...

The Night We Lost Him

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.

The Night We Lost Him is a “propulsive” (Oprah Daily) must-hear, with a heartbreaking final twist you’ll never see coming.

౨ৎ | "what good is knowing that you were wrong when there is no one left to hear you say that youre sorry?"

this was very fast paced and i liked getting to know nora and sam and seeing their connection form. but i just felt like it fell very flat. some parts were extremely boring and it was easily predictable (in most parts, one twist did shock me though). but i liked the writing style and the pace of it all.
