The 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 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 destroy 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.
