Four-star review of The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
A quick read about a woman, Hannah, whose husband asked her to protect his teenage daughter, Bailey, before he disappeared. Soon after, the head of the company where he worked designing games is arrested by the FBI. But is his disappearance due to the issues at his firm or to something in his past? Hannah is determined to find out about the discrepancies in his story about his history at the same time that she does what she can for Bailey, who has never accepted her as a step-mom. There were several holes in the plot and the ending seems manipulated, partly because Dave wrote her way into an unresolvable situation but also, probably, because of an upcoming sequel.
