The Last Thing He Told Me
by
Laura Dave wins this year’s Mystery & Thriller award for The Last Thing He Told Me, in which a mother and her stepdaughter try to unwind a lethally knotted secret. When Owen Michaels disappeared, he left his new wife, Hannah, a single cryptic message: Protect her. The note clearly refers to Bailey, Owen’s 16-year-old daughter. But why? The U.S. Marshals want to know, too.
