CBS NEW YORK BOOK CLUB PICK • Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’s lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line.

Amber Patterson Parrish has come a long way. Hard work and immaculate planning turned her from invisible wallflower to prominent socialite, though there have been bumps along the way. Less than a year after her husband Jackson’s tax-evasion scandal, Amber reigns supreme over the Bishops Harbor community. But with Jackson being released from prison, Amber’s free time—and money—is vanishing.

Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish left Bishops Harbor after her divorce from Jackson, swearing she would never go back. But when one of her daughters runs away from home, desperate to see her father, Daphne agrees to return for the summer for their daughters’ sake. Jackson swears he’s a changed man, but Daphne knows all too well that he can’t be trusted.

When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, these three figures find unlikely allies in one another. But who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game.

With shocking turns and entertaining characters, The Next Mrs. Parrish will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about duplicity and betrayal.

So good!!

I loved this! It kept my attention from the very beginning to the end. I loved the ending! The only thing I wish is that I would have known The First Shot was the first in the trilogy. I’m now going to read that after reading these two. Enjoy!

Amazing characters

Amazing characters with outstanding narration all at a perfect pace! It was well worth the wait & hoping there’s a third Mrs Parrash!

Loved it!

It’s rare that a sequel is as good as the first book like this one is!

Great

So good and great second part to the first book. More characters but still the original first

Delicious!

I loved the first 'Mrs. Parrish.' Despite all of the psychological thrillers I listen to and read, that story really stuck with me. When I noticed that there was a new 'Mrs, Parrish' I was all over it. I couldn't wait to see what happens next!

I gobbled this novel up in a day. I loved all of the twists and turns in the fates of Mrs. and Mr. Parrish, and the ex Mrs. Parrish. This was a devilish delight, and fed my hunger for furthering the Parrish story. I am excited there will be a third!

Great work Ms. Constantine. Beautifully narrated, and although very far-fetched, excellent listen/read for those like me, addicted to the Parrish saga! Come on Book Three!

Reread the 1st book before starting!!!

I hadn’t listened to the 1st book since it came out years ago and I wish I would have gone back and reread it. There were plenty of details and parts that I know would have been better if I would have remembered the 1st book better. Nonetheless, still totally obsessed with this story and the last mrs. Parrish!

Twists & Turns!!

I again, loved all the twists and turns throughout this continued story. Super interesting characters spoken very well by the cast. I looked forward to listening to the book each day!

Wow!!

Loved everything about this story I will definitely read her books again!! This is edge of your seat suspense at its finest

Cleverness

Very good, lots of twists and turns! I highly recommend but start with book #1!

Doesn’t hold a candle to The Last Mrs P

The story was ok on its own. As a sequel to TLMP it didn’t stand a chance. So unrealistic it was mind blowing. Non plausible decisions left and right. And sooo many missed opportunities to take certain characters and storylines much much further. If I randomly listened to this book and didn’t know it was the sequel to one of top 3 books of all time I would say it’s fine. I may or may not recommend to others bc it was just ehh. But knowing it was the sequel to TLMS, I wouldn’t recommend. Super sad bc I’ve counting down the seconds for this to come out :(
