University City Public Library Book Challenge: The Last Thing He Told Me

Hannah is left with her stepdaughter Bailey...a 16 year old who has not exactly accepted Hannah as a permanent fixture.

July 27, 2021

Hannah is late to marry but finds the perfect man in Owen. They have been married only one year when Owen leaves for work and never comes home. Hannah is left with her stepdaughter Bailey...a 16 year old who has not exactly accepted Hannah as a permanent fixture. Bailey's mother (and Owen's wife) died in a horrible car accident when she was very little so Bailey has no real memory of her at all.

But now Owen is gone. Soon, it is known that the company he works for is under fire and perhaps there will be executives going to jail. Is Owen to blame? Where is he? Hannah and Bailey go on fact finding mission and what they discover is that Owen is not who he says he is. What next?

As ridiculous as this plot and the actions of Hannah and Bailey are, the author has managed to make this a compelling story. Even as I scoffed at their actions, I could not put his down. Am I recommending? Not really but you could do worse.
