The Last Mrs Parrish: A gripping, addictive psychological suspense thriller with a shocking twist - a Reese Witherspoon pick!

Product Information

Amber is busy embedding herself into Daphne’s life under false pretenses, with her eye squarely on the brass ring.

By the time we get to the last section in the book, that old phrase about ‘what goes around comes around' came to mind, along with a few other books or movies in which the tables are turned in spectacular fashion, and revenge is carried out with carefully constructed scheming. Wonderfully plausible, hypnotically compelling, and deliciously chilling and creepy—some of the best psychological suspense you’ll read this year. Lee ChildBut, at the same time, she discovers some oddities about the Winchesters. For example, Nina tells lies about her daughter, and her husband seems like a broken man. It seems they may have some secrets of their own. While I haven’t yet read The Other Mrs. myself, I have read other books by Kubica and liked them, and several readers named this as one of their favorite books like The Last Mrs. Parrish. They should have layers and appear altered when viewed from different angles. (No one is all “one” thing.) You are reading this review of your own free will. There may be some spoilers in this review/the spoiler button was switched. In the midst of reading several books with heavy, less than happy themes, I had a craving for something light and exciting.

This was a 5 star read for me for the first half of the book in terms of sheer entertainment. But then the book veers into some disturbing territory that just didn't make the book as fun to read anymore. That's not to say the story failed to hold my interest, just I liked it more when it was more of a love to hate feeling towards a character rather than flat out hatred. Filled with envy, deception, and power, it’s a great reading escape. And there is a thrilling twist at the end!”— Reese Witherspoon This is an excellent psychological thriller featuring an unlikable character named Amber Patterson. Look, I love complex, selfish, unlikable characters. I don't believe, in general, that anyone is merely good or bad. Most people are screwed-up, flawed, and jealous at times. It's a shitty world out there and I truly believe most personalities are made through socialization and nurture, not born. BUT Amber is insufferable. She is horrible to literally everyone, and for no reason. She has to make snide comments (mentally) about the weight of her coworker, and think to herself how much easier it was for Daphne's sister, who grew up with and eventually died from cystic fibrosis.This group is dedicated to all fans of Psychological Thrillers by authors including, but not limited to: James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver, John Sanford This group is dedicated to all fans of Psychological Thrillers by authors including, but not limited to: James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver, John Sanford, Patricia Cornwell, Lee Child, Gillian Flynn, Dennis Lehane, Thomas Harris, John Fowles, Stieg Larson, H.

I had no idea that I needed to know what Amber was up to before we met her...but I did need to know! Amber did not disappoint..again... Audio thoughts: This was such a great audio and Suzanne Elise Freeman, a new-to-me narrator did such a great job. She brought all the characters to life and her pacing and intonations were spot on. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Wonderfully plausible, hypnotically compelling, and deliciously chilling and creepy—some of the best psychological suspense you’ll read this year.”— Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author In contrast, THE WIFE BETWEEN US is a much darker, tighter, twisted story and I did give it all the stars. That book doesn’t come out until January 2018. I will post a review on http://www.booksbejeweled.com closer to publication.Just after Sadie and Will move from the big city to small-town Maine, their neighbor is found dead in her home. The Last Mrs. Parrish is an extraordinary debut and gripping psychological thriller that is full of unexpected twists. Readers will become obsessed with these chilling characters who pull you in and refuse to let go.” It takes a lot for me to hand out one star. I save those for flaming piles of shit. But, I’m making an exception in this case. I think totally hated this very strongly, just on principle. Once she has clued us in on her diabolic plans, and once she has seemingly gotten what she came for, the story shifts gears, and Daphne takes control of the wheel.
