The Last Thing He Told Me is a fast-paced story - perhaps too fast - as it goes from the initial setup to the final denouement in what seems like just a few days. This is a story where one of the main characters, Owen Michaels, goes missing in the first paragraph itself and how his wife, Hannah Hall, tries to find him and, in the bargain, forges a friendship and a bond with her 16 year old step-daughter, Bailey. Owen passes a note on to Hannah with just the words ‘Protect her’ before he disappears and the story soon gets going with her husband’s company being investigated for wrongdoing and its CEO in federal law enforcement’s crosshairs. And, the twist is that the husband goes off the grid not primarily because of the company’s troubles but rather because of his own past that is far murkier and would expose him - and most crucially his daughter, Bailey - to great harm. Owen Michaels clearly isn’t who he appears to be.
