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.

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick The Last Thing He Told Me comes a riveting mystery wrapped in an epic love story.

'An engrossing mystery and a story with emotional heft.' - Shari Lapena

'A master storyteller. You won't want to miss this one.' - Harlan Coben

'The best mystery of the year.' - Jennifer Garner


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...

Filled with passion, intrigue, lies, and dark, dark family secrets, The Night We Lost Him is a page-turning mystery you won't ever want to put down.
