Staff Pick
In the vein of Big Little Lies and Behind Closed Doors, The Last Mrs. Parrish is smart, twisty, and suspenseful. Daphne is the placid, pampered wife of multi-millionaire Jackson Parrish; Amber is a runaway with a plan to snatch it all away from Daphne. Nothing is what it seems in their world, though, and the characters are about to learn a few painful lessons about greed and cruelty. Recommended By Emily F., Powells.com

Synopsis
THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER AND DECEMBER PICK FOR REESE WITHERSPOON'S HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB
"A fun and fast-paced psychological thriller about two determined women who play a high stakes game of deception that only one can win." — Reese Witherspoon
"Will keep you up. In a 'can't put it down' way. It's 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' with XX chromosomes." — The Skimm
"Deliciously duplicitous. . . . equally as twisty, spellbinding, and addictive as Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train." — Library Journal (starred review)
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.
