The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave

A few weeks ago, Jeff and I spent 15 days at my San Francisco apartment with my daughter, Lily. One of the highlights of the staycation was to pour a glass of wine, and watch at episode of "The Perfect Couple" on Netflix. Lily and i loved the opening credits in which the cast did a flash-mob-style dance on the beach in line formation. The show was a mystery and it reminded me how much I like a good thriller, especially when it involves a family with a complicated history. So after we finished "The Perfect Couple," I following it up with this new novel from Laura Dave called "The Night We Lost Him." Dave is best known for her novel "The Last Thing He Told Me," which was turned into a limited run series with Jennifer Garner. "The Night We Lost Him" centers around three adult children and the night their father, Liam Noone died. Noone, a larger-than-life, self-made hotel magnate kept many secrets from his children, especially Nora and Sam. The death of their father brings them together, after they were estranged. The police rule Noone's death from a cliff near his home as an accident. However the more they look into their father's secret life, the more Nora and Sam start to believe their father's death was not an accidental. Think Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. There is a mystery to be solved. They just need to chase down the clues to see who did it. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
