Read The Last Mrs. Parrish before you pick up the new, instant New York Times bestseller, The Next Mrs. Parrish!

A mesmerizing debut about a coolly manipulative woman and a wealthy ""golden couple,"" from a stunning new voice in psychological suspense.

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.

Up in the Air

Part 1 was so hard to get through. Amber is the most unlikeable character- which was the point- but so much so that I almost didn’t want to continue with the book. Part 1 also draggggggs, whereas part 2 is quicker paced and in my opinion a bit better from Daphne’s pov as opposed to Ambers whiny ass. Overall I don’t get the raving reviews. Maybe it is because I listened to this book after the wife between us? Not sure but it was hard to get through, Part 2 & 3 almost made it worth the million hours Part 1 dragged on.

OMG I love this book!

I mostly read nonfiction, but was feeling like I needed an escape. My husband and I loved this book. We recently took a trip to California for Thanksgiving and listen to this on our road trip. This is the only thing that kept us awake on the last leg of our trip. It is very suspenseful and will definitely keep you hanging on every word. highly recommend very enjoyable!!!

Thank you Mrs. PARISH!

It's been a long time since I've listened to something this entertaining. If you enjoy stories of deception, revenge, and fully realized characters, you'll want to treat yourself to this dark delight! Oh, and... YMB! (Gotta listen to know what that means...)

Annoying and mesmerizing drove me nuts.

This book is one of those I would have thrown across the room, several times screaming at the characters. With audible I can’t do that. My friend who recommended it kept telling me to continue reading. I would actually call her up and yell at her because every character in the book made me want to scream. At certain points I would exclaim my frustration and disgust out loud while reading it!! Glad I hung in there. Fun diabolical twist which is what I had hoped for.

The book is well written and the narration compelling. I actually had some interesting insights during some of the more twisted scenes; not realizing the book was having an effect on me until after my tantrums of not being able to bear one more mention of how wonderful the protagonist thought the demon was. I don’t want to go into detail about the story because it may ruin it for you. And misery loves company. I’d be curious if anyone else was driven crazy by it. So let me know and enjoy.

you won't regret it

This book is up there with Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us. I re-listen to this every year, it's so good, so satisfying. When friends ask me for book recommendations - this is the trio I give them!
