When the press blurb says it's a "mesmerizing debut", it is NOT
KIDDING. I picked THE LAST MRS. PARRISH up around 9 p.m.,
which was the biggest
mistake of my week. Next thing I knew it was 2 a.m. and I
was clicking
my Kindle closed.
While there were some telegraphed bits of this (I guess one
of the
twists a few chapters ahead of time), the ultimate
conclusion was so
satisfying that I didn't care. For a debut, this is a
strongly crafted
piece and I cannot wait to see where this writing duo under
the name Liv Constantine goes next.
A mesmerizing debut psychological thriller full of
delicious twists about a coolly manipulative woman who
worms her way into the lives of a wealthy "golden couple"
from Connecticut to achieve the privileged life she
wants.
Some women get everything. Some women get everything they
deserve.
Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody:
a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background.
She deserves more—a life of money and power like the one
blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for
granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops
Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne and her husband, Jackson—the
beautiful philanthropist and the confident real estate
mogul—are a golden couple straight out of a fairytale,
blessed with two lovely young daughters.
Amber’s envy could eat her alive . . . if she didn't have
a plan. Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and caring to
insinuate herself into the family’s life—the first step
in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long,
Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante, traveling to Europe
with the Parrish family, and growing closer to Jackson.
But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything
that Amber has worked towards, and if it is discovered,
her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.
With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you
guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a
fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a
diabolically imaginative talent.
