Laura Dave on "The Last Thing He Told Me"

Sausalito, California, is a Bay Area bohemia best known for its views of San Francisco and maze of floating homes. "There are about 400 floating homes here and in Marin County," said author Laura Dave. "They are both incredibly private, and yet, you have this wonderful community of people."

For Dave, it was also the perfect setting for a mystery. "That dichotomy was something I really wanted to be the backdrop to someone who is both searching for community, and also someone who needs to hide," she said.

These docks serve as the opening location for her bestselling novel, "The Last Thing He Told Me," published in 2021 by Simon & Schuster (a part of CBS' parent company, Paramount Global). It's also now an Apple TV+ series starring Jennifer Garner that began streaming Friday.
