Summary of The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
Amber Patterson Parrish has clawed her way to the top of Bishops Harbor society. After sending her husband, Jackson, to prison for tax evasion, she thought she had it all figured out. But Jackson’s release from prison, coupled with her dwindling finances, forces her to reconsider her options.
Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish, Jackson’s ex-wife, swore she would never return to Bishops Harbor after their divorce. But when her daughter Tallulah runs away to see her father, Daphne reluctantly agrees to spend the summer back in the town she left behind.
Amber and Jackson strike a deal to manipulate Daphne and others to serve their selfish goals. But just as their schemes unfold, a ghost from Amber’s past resurfaces, threatening to upend everything she’s built. With alliances shifting and secrets unraveling, Amber, Daphne and Jackson find themselves in a dangerous game where only one can emerge victorious.
Review of The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
The Next Mrs. Parrish is a masterclass in domestic thrillers, combining clever twists, complex characters and high-stakes tension. Liv Constantine crafts a story that’s both fast-paced and richly layered, ensuring readers remain hooked from the first page to the last.
Amber Patterson is as cunning and despicable as ever. Her scheming and manipulative behavior make her a character readers love to hate. Jackson Parrish, equally detestable, plays a pivotal role as the untrustworthy ex-husband whose motives keep everyone guessing. Daphne, however, shines as the moral center of the story. Her growth and determination to protect her daughters make her the most relatable and likable character.
The pacing is relentless, with no wasted moments or unnecessary subplots. Every chapter brings new revelations, keeping the suspense high. The addition of Daisy Ann, a Texan woman seeking justice for a past wrong, adds depth and fresh conflict to the narrative. Her presence serves as a counterbalance to Amber’s ruthlessness, making the story even more compelling.
One of the most satisfying aspects of the novel is the ending. Without giving anything away, let’s just say the resolution is both shocking and immensely gratifying. It’s a delicious conclusion that ties up loose ends while leaving readers with plenty to think about.
