The Night We Lost Him

By: Laura Dave

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Critic reviews

Genuinely moving

It’s rare for a book to keep me up past my bedtime, but I just couldn’t stop with this gripping thriller.

Dave pulls off something that feels both new and familiar: a novel of domestic suspense that unnerves, then reassures.

A beautifully told, gripping mystery.

Clear and sharp as a diamond.

Promises to serve up Dave’s signature blend of pulse-pounding suspense and moving family drama.
