“Filled with envy, deception, and power, it’s a great reading escape. And there is a thrilling twist at the end!!” —Reese Witherspoon

“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 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.

This book is so good! It starts off a little slow, but once it got going I could not put it down! The ending was so satisfying. I read this book at the end of last year and still haven’t forgotten about it!
A friend recommended this book and I’m so glad she did. I purchased a hardback copy and will keep it on my bookshelf forever. It was a great read and I love how she weaved the story together. I wondered which one would be the “last” Mrs. Parrish and raced through the book to find out. Liv, if you read this, YMB because I’m stalking you now! 🙂
I cannot rave enough about this book. Just when you think you know what’s going on…you realize you have NO IDEA.
This book is based upon a common scenario…..outsider hopes to supplant life of beautiful wife in the affections of her wealthy husband. The attraction for the reader is the detailed plan of the interloper and all of the wiles, cunning, and evil she uses to achieve her goal. Amber is not a likeable character, but at the same time, as her exploits get more cruel and daring, the reader is caught in the web from which she is unable to untangle.
This book is an easy read and would be great for the summer. There’s a twist in the book to add interest.
It was well written, unexpected and a very good read!
Outstanding fictional ( or maybe not) read. No one I know who read it could put it down!
I especially enjoyed this book’s twist.
An absolutely unexpected turn of events. Loved this book!
I found this book predictable and annoying. I didn’t hate it… or I wouldn’t have finished it, but I feel like the whole thing was forced. I didn’t believe in any of the characters. This is not to say I don’t know that people can be as manipulative and foul as Jackson or Amber…I get it. I get it more than most, maybe.. and unfortunately, but even so, this book fell flat for me. I read it for my book club and also because the the co-authors are going to be at event I plan to attend in March. I will just sit quietly!
