The Night We Lost Him Book Review

If you enjoyed the mystery of The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave, then you'll also enjoy her newest book, The Night We Lost Him.  

When Mallory's father dies via cliff fall at his beloved home, she assumes (as does law enforcement) that it was an accident. Her father slipped and fell. But her half-brother Sam does not agree. He thinks their father was pushed.


Thus, the two siblings, who don't really spend much time together, end up traveling to California together to find the truth, not only about what really happened that night, but also about who their father really was.

Can you ever really know a person, especially if that person does everything in his power to keep certain parts of his life and the people in it private?

I'm sure this will spark some good book club discussion as everyone tries to guess the who, what, and why of the situation. Is there more to it than the police are letting on? Or are Sam and Mallory on a wild goose chase fueled by grief?

The Night We Lost Him is published by Marysue Ricci Books and will be available to purchase on September 17, 2024. I received a free review copy.
