The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave

Dad would never commit suicide.

He was young, healthy, happy, and successful.


We have to find out if someone was with him the night he slipped and fell to his death on the rocks that he could walk over in his sleep.


Sam and Nora, who have been estranged, go on a search together for answers about their father’s death. 


Someone is hiding something.


As Sam and Nora reconnect and look for the why, they realize that their father and other family members had secrets.  And....perhaps that's why their father kept the three families he had from three marriages separate from each other. 


THE NIGHT WE LOST HIM wasn't that engaging, and it was difficult to know which character was speaking.


It was interesting how Nora and Sam unraveled the mystery, but it was still confusing, and I wasn't anxious to get back to the book.


I also would like to know what decision the children made...it was left hanging in the air.  3/5

  2. Too many characters all with stories to tell can get confusing.
