Our view
“The Last Thing He Told Me” is a quick, entertaining thriller that binds its disappearance mystery to a family story. At 320 pages it moves briskly and is as interested in feeling as in suspense. Some readers find that the explanation, once it arrives, does not quite hold together, and that what the characters finally decide is hard to believe.
