Summary

Trusting his family was her first mistake.

All Ria ever wanted was a family. Growing up alone in foster care, she imagined just how it would be. So when she fell in love with Grayson and had their daughter Shelley, she was determined to make his family love her too. She knew she’d never fit in with her glamorous sisters-in-law, or at the exclusive picture-perfect Chicago parties her mother-in-law threw, but with Grayson’s arm around her waist she tried her best to be a Parker. 

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 intimidating 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.

A waste of credit

I have never heard a more irritating narration! The story is so predictable, boring characters.

Kept hoping it would improve

Story line was confusing & a weak plot. Ending was pathetic. Perhaps if the narrator had been engaging then the story might have felt better but the accent & drawl was irritating. I don’t us

Trite and awful grating narration

The book might have been ok if it hadn’t been for the dreadful narration. All the characters sounded the same and they all sounded whiny as hell.

Gave up half way through and read the book instead. Wasn’t much better but at least that god awful voice was gone.
