Recommended Read of the Week: Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

Years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon, his body never found. Now, a decade later, June is finally ready to move on. She owns a natural wine bar in Brooklyn and is engaged to a patient, supportive man named Kyle. She’s excited to finally begin a new chapter in her life and start a family. But out of the blue, she sees him–Josh, her first husband. Is this just a hallucination from the guilt June carries about finally moving on, or is it possible that her husband never died in the first place? June secretly flies to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all the secrets she’s about to unlock because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.

Why Rose Recommends it – If you’re looking for a fast-paced steamy and suspenseful read, look no further than Till Death Do Us Part. June is a character that readers will sympathize with, so when the truth about her first husband starts unravelling you’ll feel compelled to keep reading. The plot is intricate, the setting is stunning, and the psychological thrills will keep you guessing until the end. This is a great choice for those who like Megan Abbott, Lisa Jewell, and B.A. Paris.
