Love love loved this one! After reading about the controversy between this and McFadden's The Housemaid I had to read it and I must say, if the rumors are true, which to be clear I don't think so, The Last Mrs. Parrish is 100x better. The characters in this are so well written I found myself filled with anger, fear, sympathy, horror, and everything in between as I read. Constantine did a marvelous job really brining the readers into the story and building a world that felt like you were in the story watching it unfold, each twist more mind-blowing than the previous.
