The Last Thing He Told Me: She Read Minds, She Missed His. - Paperback

The "suffocating and unforgettable" (Chicago Tribune) and "razor-sharp psychological thriller" (Crime Reads) about a woman who built her career reading dangerous minds - until she married one.

Before Daniel Ellison vanishes, he leaves his wife four words on a grocery receipt: I'm sorry, Mara. Run.

Dr. Mara Ellison is one of the FBI's most trusted forensic psychologists. She knows how liars breathe, how predators love, how dangerous men construct the perfect version of themselves for the world to believe. She has never once been fooled.

Until now.

As Mara's calls to Daniel go unanswered, as a body surfaces in the Chicago River and federal agents appear at her door, she makes a discovery that changes everything - seven years before she married Daniel, she sat across from him in a federal evaluation room. She spent forty hours reading him. She filed her report.

She cleared him.

Now, with the FBI closing in and a dead woman's diary surfacing from her husband's past, Mara must use every clinical tool she possesses to uncover the truth about Daniel - while confronting the question she has spent her entire career avoiding.

What does it mean when the most dangerous subject you have ever encountered was also the one you chose to love?

With its ice-cold atmosphere, psychological precision, and a twist that recontextualizes everything, The Last Thing He Told Me is a propulsive, deeply unsettling thriller that proves the most terrifying lies are the ones we are most qualified to see - and most determined to miss.
