Read The Last Mrs. Parrish before you pick up the new, instant New York Times bestseller, The Next Mrs. Parrish!
A 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 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.

“Wonderfully plausible, hypnotically compelling, and deliciously chilling and creepy.”
— Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author“An addictive and twisty debut.”
— Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author“A Gone Girl–esque confection with villainy and melodrama galore.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Devilishly ingenious…Readers would have to go back to the likes of Ira Levin’s A Kiss Before Dying or Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley to find as entertaining a depiction of a sociopathic monster.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A twisty peek into the lives of the rich and the woman who desires that life to the point where she’s willing to do anything to get it.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)“A satisfying thriller that offers a window into the darker side of glamorous lives and powerful men.”
— Booklist“In an age of great antiheroines, comes the most unlikable one yet, the coldly devilish Amber Patterson. This thriller delivers the most satisfying ending since B. A. Paris’ smash hit Behind Closed Doors—and a victorious romp of revenge.”
— Jenny Milchman, author of Cover of Snow“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.”
— Sara Blaedel, Denmark’s award-winning internationally bestselling “Queen of Crime”" this is a terrific book. A real page turner. I finished it in 2 days. "
— Swanand, 8/10/2021" I found this novel impossible. It makes no sense, and no matter how I tried, I found it ridiculous, implausible, and I couldn't like or feel empathy for any of the characters. Not recommended. "
