Book: The Night We Lost Him

Author: Laura Dave

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon Element for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.


The story follows Nora, the daughter of Liam Noone’s first marriage. Liam is a rich hotel mogul. We find out Nora has been through an emotional rollercoaster recently losing both her parents.

Her stepbrother who was not in her life suddenly reaches out to her, asking for help about their father's death. He believe Liam’s death was not an accident.

We learn about Liam’s past, going back to high school. We bounce back and forth between the past and present as Nora is digging into as much information as possible on her father. This is where she learns she inherited Windbreak House, one of her father's favorite places. This is also where he tragically was found dead at the bottom of the cliff.

This book is more of a slow-burn family drama than it is a thriller but it does have some good suspense while trying to figure out more about Liam's death.

Final Score 4/5
