Synopsis:
The internationally bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish follows that success with an addictive novel filled with shocking twists about the aftermath of a brutal high-society murder.
Dr. Kate English has it all. Not only is she the heiress to a large fortune; she has a gorgeous husband and daughter, a high-flying career, and a beautiful home anyone would envy.
But all that changes the night Kate’s mother, Lily, is found dead, brutally murdered in her own home. Heartbroken and distraught, Kate reaches out to her estranged best friend, Blaire Barrington, who rushes to her side for the funeral, where the years of distance between them are forgotten in a moment.
That evening, Kate’s grief turns to horror when she receives an anonymous text: You think you’re sad now, just wait. By the time I’m finished with you, you’ll wish you had been buried today. More than ever, Kate needs her old friend’s help.
Once Blaire decides to take the investigation into her own hands, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems in Baltimore high society. As infidelity, lies, and betrayals come to light, and tensions rise to a boiling point, she begins to alienate Kate’s friends and relatives with her relentless, accusatory questions, as she tries to find Lily’s killer. The murderer could be anyone—friend, neighbor, loved one. But whoever it is, it’s clear that Kate is next on their list. . .
In The Last Time I Saw You, Liv Constantine takes the lightning pace of The Last Mrs. Parrish and raises the stakes, creating an exquisitely tension-filled and absorbing tale of psychological suspense in which innocent lives—and one woman’s sanity—hang in the balance.
My Review:
The Last Time I Saw You is the newest work from the dynamic sister duo Liv Constantine and if you know me at all, you know I have been singing the praise of their first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, since it’s release. To say I was super excited to get an advance copy of this book would be a serious understatement and as I started reading it, I knew these sisters had done it again….this book was FANTASTIC!
This book starts out with a huge blow and the hits just kept coming the more and more I read. I loved it. From a childhood friend suddenly returning years after a major falling out to a husband with a coworker dying to get into his pants, and of course, a murder mystery and threatening anonymous texts, I could NOT put this book down.
Like our heroine Kate, I was kept guessing with each text she received. I had no idea who to trust, who to keep an eye on, who to dismiss as a non-threat. Honestly, I imagine I felt EXACTLY as Kate felt. I could put myself in her shoes and with each chapter I read I got more and more involved in solving the mystery at hand. It was SUCH a thrill ride! Along the way I had mixed emotions towards the childhood friend Blaire, her husband Simon, and even the police trying to help get to the bottom of things. I won’t spoil anything for you but I will tell you the twist at the end was one I never saw coming and it was absofreakingloutely brilliant. Oh so juicy and oh so perfect!
If you take one thing away from this review, it’s that you MUST read this book…..you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you, Lynne and Val, for another stellar read! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
