The Hannah Hall Series

The Hannah Hall series centers on Hannah Hall, a woodworker whose life unravels into a gripping mystery and emotional journey after her husband disappears under suspicious circumstances. In the first book, The Last Thing He Told Me, Hannah lives on a Sausalito houseboat with her husband Owen and his teenage daughter Bailey when Owen vanishes just as his tech company becomes embroiled in a federal investigation. He leaves behind only a note that says “Protect her,” pushing Hannah and Bailey—who initially have a strained relationship—to work together to uncover Owen’s hidden past, evade danger, and forge a deeper bond while trying to understand who he really was and why he disappeared. Together, the series blends thriller pacing with emotional family drama, anchored in stepmother–stepdaughter dynamics and unanswered questions about identity and loyalty.
