The Last Thing He Told Me
A husband disappears leaving cash and a two-word note, and his wife and hostile stepdaughter go looking for who he was.
Hannah’s husband vanishes, leaving a bag of money and a note reading protect her, meaning the sixteen-year-old stepdaughter who dislikes her. The two drive to Austin to work out who he was before, and the pleasure is watching a hostile pairing become an alliance. Dave keeps the reveals coming without cheating, and the ending asks a harder question than most thrillers of its kind bother with.
