Publisher's summary

The National Best Seller and a Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick

“Will keep you up. In a ‘can’t put it down’ way. It’s ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ with XX chromosomes.” (The Skimm)

“Deliciously duplicitous. . . . equally as twisty, spellbinding, and addictive as Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train.” (Library Journal, starred review)

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 - a socialite and philanthropist - and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale.

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 Parrishes and their lovely young daughters and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked toward, 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.

I had to think about my review

I finished the whole book, as Audible is getting a bit frustrated with me for returning my books too often, so this is always good. The story itself sounds promising. I found myself getting frustrated with Daphne. OK, so if one of my girl friends were over at our house all the time and my husband were like the one in the book, I would not be able to get away with that. Even if my husband, who is not like that,it is just too much of having a "third" person there all the time.

Who has their girlfriends over at major family functions or vacations all the time? Right? Not that many people, this fact just felt very unrealistic.

In the middle of the book, Daphne tells her side of the story, but again, it was not fully developed by the author. The "bad" girl Amber, has just fallen victim to the "DO NOT COVET"rule and is unrealistically burdened and hateful. The author never really explains WHY Amber chooses Daphne and Jackson. Eye-roll, here.

Then the ending... well that was a fast wrap-up with no crescendo built-up. This book could have been written with much more agony and exiting development. The sex - gosh... well it was just disturbing. Would I recommend the book - maybe if you are not mad at me after you read it, and get if for free at the library. Narration was ok.
Thank you for reading my review, if you liked, please vote for it.

The Long Mrs. Parrish

The story seemed to move in slow motion. There were several points were the plot became obvious because no one can be that naive.
The performance was good but not worth the credit.

Just Okay...

This probably would have been a very good suspenseful book had I not just read The Wife Between Us; was predictable after that. In truth I enjoyed this writing better just be prepared for more of the same if this was in your recommended reads like mine!
