The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

I’m not ready for summer to be over. I want more travel, more new adventures and certainly more time reading under an umbrella. One way to keep the summer alive is by marching into fall with a good beach read. My sister-in-law Jen, who is a big reader and knows what I like, told me about this book a while ago. And like all the books people tell me about, this book went on my list. But when I finally listened to it on audio, I said, “What took me so long?! This book is terrific.” “The Last Mrs. Parrish” by Liv Constantine is a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It begins like a simple story but then takes the reader on a wild ride. If you have ever been in an unhealthy relationship with another person, (have we not all?), this book will speak to you. To feel stuck and trapped in a relationship is one of the most frustrating things. Finding a way out is satisfying, but also very difficult to achieve. This is the theme at the heart of “The Last Mrs. Parrish.” In the fictional town of Bishop’s Harbor, Connecticut (think Bridgeport), Amber Patterson comes to town and targets socialite and philanthropist Daphne Parrish as her mark. Amber insinuates herself into the life of the Parrish family with the plan to grow closer to the handsome captain-of-industry, Jackson Parrish. But even the best laid plans are not always successful, and Amber is quick to realize her scheme is not turning out the way she envisioned. Take “The Last Mrs. Parrish” to the beach or to your couch. Just take it and enjoy. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
