The Last Mrs. Parrish
I spent two days reading “The Last Mrs. Parrish,” by
Liv Constantine which is the pen name for sisters Lynn Constantine and Valerie
Constantine. It was my first time reading from the sisters and wow it was hard
to put down! Amber Patterson wants more from life than being a nobody. Amber
wants more from her life; she wants wealth and power like the woman Daphne
Parrish takes for granted. To Daphne and everyone else in Bishops Harbor Connecticut
Daphne and her husband Jackson Parrish is the perfect couple with the perfect
daughters. Amber knows if she wants something she will have to get it herself.
Amber befriends Daphne and gets close to Jackson, but she has to be careful
that a skeleton from her past doesn’t ruin everything she’s ever worked for.
Pros
I’m not going to lie this book grabbed me by the
first page. This novel was hard to put down. I liked that the book went back
and forth between points of views. The first part was Amber’s perspective, the
second part was Daphne’s perspective and then the last part flipped back and
forth between both of them. Daphne’s perspective is where some very huge twists
happened that I did not expect. If you didn’t see a twist coming, the mystery
thriller book has done its job. Another take away from this book is nothing is
ever what it seems.
Cons
There wasn’t much that I disliked really. While Amber
did get what she deserved, I wanted to see more happen. I won’t spoil what that
is. You have to read that on your own.
Overall
Overall it’s definitely worth the read. I can’t wait
to read more from Liv Constantine. If you love mystery thrillers with a huge
twist, I suggest you check out “The Last Mrs. Parrish.”
