Dr. Kate English has a great life. Raised with money by her parents
Harrison and Lily, they gave Kate everything she ever wanted or
needed. Kate is married to Simon and they have a daughter, Annabelle.
Her life is almost perfect until she gets a phone call that her mother
has been murdered. Beside herself, Kate turns to Blaire, a woman who
had been her lifelong best friend until the day before Kate's wedding
when they got into a huge fight. Blaire attends the funeral, and Kate is
received when they fall back into their old routine, as if their fight never
happened.
Days after the funeral, however, Kate receives some very strange gifts
and emails. They are very freighting and the police are called in. Who
could be doing this to her? Blaire, who writes detective novels, want to
help Kate figure out what is going on, and the first person who comes
to mind is Kate's arrogant husband, Simon. Kate and Simon have never
gotten along, and after Blaire comes back into Kate's life, it is no
different. Meanwhile, Kate feels like she is forgetting
things, or perhaps
that someone is trying to play games with head. She is unsure who to
trust - her best friend or her husband? Soon everything must come to a
head, but what will it cost Kate?
Liv Constantine has once again written a great novel in THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU. I read her
last book, THE LAST MRS.
PARRISH, and as with that book, Constantine kept me guessing
until the very end with her vivid imagination. Without giving anything
away, wait until you find out the whole truth. There are secrets kept
from Kate that change everything. I was upset when I finished THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU because
it was over. This is a wonderful, mysterious read just in time for
summer!
The internationally bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish follows that success with an addictive novel filled with shocking twists about the aftermath of a brutal high-society murder.
Kate English's mother, Lily Michaels, is dead, the victim of a terrifying attack in her tony suburban Baltimore home. Barely keeping it together for the sake of her family, Kate is surprised and grateful to see Blaire Barrington, her old high school BFF, at the funeral.
Thick as thieves from middle school through college graduation, the girls fell out on the morning of Kate's wedding to the confident, arrogant Simon English nearly fifteen years before. Almost instantly the years of separation fall away, and Kate and Blaire slip comfortably back into their old roles. Kate, now a prominent heart surgeon, is the accomplished, anxious achiever, while Blaire, a bestselling mystery author, serves as her fierce defender against all enemies.
And now more than ever, Kate needs Blaire's loving protection. Lily's killer is still out there . . . and has begun taunting Kate with threatening notes sometimes accompanied by gruesome clues. Without any solid leads, the police investigation has stalled. As the messages become increasingly macabre, Blaire decides to take matters into her own hands, alienating friends and relatives with her relentless, almost accusatory questions.
As Blaire pushes further, the danger for those around her—including the increasingly unstable Kate—grows. But will her relentless quest for the truth push her—and Kate—over the edge?
In this second novel, told with the lightning pace of The Last Mrs. Parrish, Liv Constantine raises the stakes, creating an exquisitely tension-filled and absorbing tale of psychological suspense in which innocent lives—and one woman's sanity—hang in the balance.
