(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Spine-tingling mystery tales become even edgier – and poignant - when a family is at the center. Master suspense storyteller Laura Dave will take you inside her newest novel, The Night We Lost Him, during her Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. The event begins at 2:00pm.
The Night We Lost Him is flying off the shelves at the Ocean County Library, which carries it in hardcover, audiobook, Ebook and Eaudiobook formats along with Laura’s The Last Thing He Told Me, The First Husband, Hello, Sunshine, London is the Best City in America, Eight Hundred Grapes and The Divorce Party.
Her latest pulse-pounder brings estranged siblings Nora and Sam into a tenuous partnership to probe the death of their father Liam Noone, a tycoon with three ex-wives and a cozy cottage on a California cliff where his fatal plunge was ruled accidental. What they discover is a family secret that changes everything.
Consistently atop the New York Times bestseller list, Laura’s novels have been translated into 38 languages. The Night We Lost Him is one of six that has been optioned for film and television.
