The Last Wife
The Last Wife: An absolutely gripping and emotional page turner with a brilliant twist | Nicola Marsh
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Trusting his family was her first mistake. When Ria married Grayson, she worried she would never fit in with the Parkers, her glamorous sisters-in-law or the exclusive picture-perfect Chicago parties her mother-in-law throws. But Grayson said they could create their own family, and when their daughter Shelley was born, Ria finally had the life she had always dreamed of when she was growing up in foster care. Everything changed when Grayson disappeared. Until one morning, Grayson leaves the house for work and never comes home. Left to raise Shelley alone, Ria is forced to turn to her husband’s family, to let her mother-in-law into her life, allow her to babysit Shelley, and accept her financial support. She tries to ignore the feeling that her sisters-in-law never thought she was good enough. They say they have no idea what happened to Grayson, and she tries very hard to believe them. But Ria is about to learn that every Parker wife has secrets. And protecting her daughter might come at a terrible price… Utterly compelling, The Last Wife is an emotionally-charged novel about what one woman will do to survive. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Kerry Fisher and The Other Woman. Readers love Nicola Marsh! “This book has it all!!!!!!!!!!! Scandal, secrets, lies, murder, mystery, love.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. The story unfolds from the perspectives of all the Parker wives and their matriarch mother in law. The inner workings of each marriage is under the microscope and everyone seems to be controlled somewhat by the Parker matriarch who controls the family fortune. A great read that will have you side eyeing your in laws at your next family gathering.

This is so entertaining, well written and twisty with likeable and equally unlikeable characters. So, it‘s time to suspend reality and enjoy the sheer escapism of The Last Wife….brilliant.
