The Last Thing He Told Me Adaptation (2023): Everything We Know So Far About The Exciting Series

After being one of the biggest releases in 2021, The Last Thing He Told Me adaptation has been moving quick to get to the screen. Based on the novel by Laura Dave, this will be a miniseries for the thriller lovers.
 
A book club fiction style story, this book had everyone talking about it and it’s not surprising we’ll be seeing it sooner rather than later.

About The Book:

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers: Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered; as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss; as a US Marshal and FBI agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth, together. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they are also building a new future. One neither Hannah nor Bailey could have anticipated.

Hi Corinne,We are considering Swisstrax floating tiles for our garage concrete floor, which don’t require glue or moisture barrier, and are said to be made of a Polypropylene copolymer material. Your articles describe polypropylene to be very safe. Is “polypropylene copolymers” just as safe? And do you happen to have any knowledge of Swisstrax products?
