Publisher's summary

“Thrilling.... a must-read!” (Mary Kubica)

“Masterful.” (Wendy Walker)

“I couldn’t put it down.” (Joseph Finder)

In a world of wealth and privilege, a killer is hiding....

The internationally best-selling 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 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.

Good old fashioned soap opera

Soap opera type of story. Starts out good with a murder victim and no leads as to who is the killer and why. Relationships that overlap several decades. Uber wealthy people and doctors. Dead boyfriends, wicked teenagers who never seem to grow up. Julia Whelan is an awesome narrator. Her range of emotions per character is right on the money! Never over dramatic. Good stuff.

Soooo good!!!!

Such a good book!!! As all the other liv Constantine books are!!! Keeps you on your toes and the BAM! Plot twist at the end!!!

Enjoyed this!

This is my 2nd book by Liv and I love the twists and turns she takes in her books that keep me reading. Good character development so you feel invested in the end.

Save your $

Predictable and lackluster. I felt like there was going to be a big twist and there just wasn't.

Like a made for TV movie

This one was just not even a little believable. I finished it but with more then a few eye rolls. It reminded me of one of those TV shows that was on in the 80’s. Almost like a soap opera. The narration was good.

Couldn’t stop listening

The story was captivating. Kept me Interested the whole time. It was realistic, yet shocking. I love these two authors. Defiantly worth the listen!

Enjoyed very much

Great lead up and story line ending felt like a lot all at one time.

I’m trying to be generous for the few parts I did love

So overall the story was so long, and at first the twists were so interesting my thought was, finally I can’t crack this one. As it went along it dragged out making it less fun to put the pieces together so I didn’t even try. The end especially could have saved it- but instead fell flat. The narrator was excellent as usual, making a really decent male and female character so that’s always a plus in my book. This could have been great but it was only okay.

Ugh, tedious

While, I love Julia Whelan, not even she could make a silk purse out of this one. The pacing was slow (even after I sped it up to 1.25x) the story was repetitive and the characters and their relationships we’re unlikable and unlikely.

Great twists

the story line was easy to follow. the twists made it more interesting. I really enjoyed it.
