The Last Thing He Told Me
Hannah Hall is a Sausalito woodturner, one year into marriage with Owen Michaels, when a neighborhood kid hands her a two-word note: Protect her. Owen is gone. His privacy-software company is being raided. His sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey, wants nothing to do with her stepmother — until a duffel bag of cash and a trail that leads to Austin force them to work as a team. A page-turner about what you owe a person you love, and how much of their past you are allowed not to know.
“Gotta pick a piece of wood. It all starts with picking a good piece of wood. If that's no good, you have nowhere good to go.”

Frequently asked questions
Is this The Last Thing He Told Me book club kit free?+
Yes. Everything on this page is free — discussion questions, games, trivia, and hosting tips. No account required.
Does this kit spoil The Last Thing He Told Me?+
Yes. Discussion questions, trivia, character material, superlatives, bingo, and debates assume you know Owen's note, the duffel bag, The Shop raid, the Austin trip, Kate Smith, Charlie and the Never Dry, that Owen is Ethan Young and Bailey is Kristin, Nicholas Bell, Hannah's deal, and the exhibition ending. Finish the novel first. Icebreakers are about the reader, not the plot. The book includes a disappeared spouse, fraud investigation, a murdered parent, organized crime, and a family living under false names — give your group a content note, and skip or pause if anyone needs to.

How long should our The Last Thing He Told Me meeting run?+
Plan 75–85 minutes. This one talks easily: 10 minutes of icebreakers, 10 minutes of trivia, 30–35 minutes of discussion (Owen's disappearance, Hannah's deal, the ending), 10–15 minutes of a speed debate or Would You Rather, then wrap-up. Use the Hosting Guide for a minute-by-minute outline.
