Man,this book was good! It's my first by this author but will not be my last. The pacing was mostly good, the plot was good, the characters and plot were all well-executed. I just felt the writing could have been improved upon in a few places. 4 stars!

I've been a fan of Laurie Elizabeth Flynn for years with her YA, and this adult thriller lived up to every expectation. Tense and twisty, pure magic in a thriller!

WHAT DID I JUST READ. This book had such a great premise... set in the backscape of a winery. There are intertwining time lines that was a little confusing to follow at the beginning. But I was left wanting more and puzzled with the last two "twists". This was more a domestic thriller and great for a beginner reader but I was left just wanting more. I wanted more depth to the twists and why they played into the storylines.

Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn is a dark and twisted psychological thriller that will leave readers breathless from start to finish. With its taut writing, chilling atmosphere, and surprising twists, this novel delves into the complexities of relationships, secrets, and the lengths one will go to for love.

The story centers around the tumultuous marriage of Ruby and Elias, a seemingly perfect couple with an underlying tension. Ruby, the protagonist, is drawn into an unhealthy and controlling relationship with her husband Elias, a man who is both charismatic and manipulative. At the heart of the story is Ruby’s internal struggle as she tries to reconcile the love she feels for Elias with the growing sense that something is deeply wrong with their relationship.

Flynn’s writing excels at creating a claustrophobic, tense atmosphere, where every interaction between the characters feels loaded with meaning and subtext. The pacing is relentless, with the author masterfully drawing readers into Ruby’s world of confusion, fear, and self-doubt. As Ruby navigates the complexities of her marriage, she begins to question her own perceptions and discovers disturbing truths that force her to confront her darkest fears.

What sets this book apart is the way Flynn explores toxic relationships and the psychological manipulation that can occur within them. Ruby’s character is layered and compelling, and her emotional journey is both heartbreaking and engrossing. Her vulnerability makes her relatable, but it also adds to the suspense as she struggles to figure out what’s real and what’s been twisted by Elias’s influence. As Ruby starts to uncover Elias’s secrets, the story becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with the stakes getting higher as the tension builds.

The twists in Till Death Do Us Part are unpredictable and will leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew about the characters and their motivations. Flynn does an excellent job of keeping readers on edge, constantly throwing new surprises and revelations that add depth and complexity to the plot. The final reveal is shocking and satisfying, leaving readers reeling with its implications.

While the novel is primarily a psychological thriller, it also touches on themes of trust, loyalty, and the power dynamics in relationships. The emotional complexity of the characters adds an extra layer of depth to the story, making it more than just a standard thriller. The book doesn’t shy away from exploring the darker aspects of human nature, but it’s also about resilience, strength, and the choices we make in our relationships.

**Thank you to the author and publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was slow until about 2/3 of the way through when it finally picked up the pace and got interesting. It was definitely more Women’s Fiction with a little mystery thrown in than Mystery/Thriller. Overall, the writing was good but this book wasn’t my favorite of Flynn’s.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read an early copy of this book. Book was fine, really good if you like the genre! I would read more from this author.

This was such a twisty psychological thriller. Family secrets, dysfunctional family dynamics, lies, stalking, etc.

June, a widow, has finally moved on after losing the love of her life 10 years prior. She never believed her husband's death was an accident, but she had to learn to let go. When someone starts following her, who looks exactly like her dead husband, she demands answers. She flies to Napa and starts to uncover several secrets and isn't sure how to reconcile with the things she learns about her husband's past.

Told in a dual POV and dual timelines, this book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wanted to keep reading to find out answers to all my questions, and I still walked away with unanswered questions. But I was definitely engaged the whole time.

June’s husband drowned a decade ago on her honeymoon, but she’s built a nice life in the wake of tragedy. She’s engaged and owns a natural wine bar in Brooklyn. Until she’s taking engagement photos and sees … her dead husband. She becomes obsessed with tracking him down and comes across a Napa winery whose owner is identical to her dead husband — so off June goes to Napa to find out the truth.

I gotta say, there was a major twist at the end of this that had my jaw on the ground. I never saw it coming and it was just such a delight to be that surprised. If you like domestic suspense and want a quick read, this one will be a winner!

Really enjoyed this novel by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, had a twist at the end I didn't see coming. Will always read this author!

The narrative revolves around a young woman, who is swept off her feet by a captivating and enigmatic man. However, she quickly finds herself caught in a harrowing situation where her trust and loyalty are pushed to the breaking point. 3 stars for premise.

This was one of those can’t-put-down books. It’s not a particularly scary book, but the central mystery-what really happened to June’s husband- was so compelling that I just had to keep reading. There were a few twists and turns and the very final reveal was a shocker. This was a very enjoyable read.

I choose this book because it of the setting, but it was a bit too incorporated and tedious to the point I lost interest. I love thrillers but this was to the point of being unbelievable. I consider it more of a domestic drama. It was just meh for me. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a opportunity to read this ARC
2.5 stars rounded up

June never fully believed that her husband drown on their honeymoon. It was out of character and police never found his body. However she had to move on for her sanity's sake and when researching a new spot to honeymoon for her upcoming second marriage she comes across a winery owned by her dead husband, only now he has a new name and new life. Could he have lived? Was it even real to begin with?

Till Death Do Us Part is told in dual timelines between the two female protagonists, June and her former mother in law, Bev. Unfortunately when there are competing voices, I found myself really enjoying Bev's story while June's was just so/so. In this novel, the plot twists are sublime, however the amount of them one right after another, has the less than desired effect of giving the reader whiplash. By the end of the story, I closed the book and thought of how absurdly unrealistic the ending was. Flynn took the plot a bit too far over the edge for my liking.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for allowing me the chance to read this novel.

This was a great thriller! Twisty, dual narration, and for the wine lovers! It kind of reminded me of a thriller twist on One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and was a great tale of motherhood and marriage and all the sacrifices that are made along the way.

This was definitely a slow burn that made me question the character’s actions A LOT and I didn’t feel like I got a real explanation until the epilogue, but overall this was a solid thriller!

Thank you NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for this ARC!

Till Death Do Us Part is an amazingly shocking thriller you never thought you needed and won't be able to put down. Each chapter draws you deeper into the riveting mystery and every revelation gives you tingles until finally, finally! the crescendo of the jaw dropping ending you do not see coming, slaps you in the face!

June is ready to take the leap and get married again. You see, ten years ago June met and married the love of her life Josh, only to have him taken away a week later when he disappears after going for a swim on their honeymoon. After an intense search he is presumed drowned making June a widow.

Now, after all these years, and with much therapy, she has met someone and is ready to marry again. Owning her own wine bar in New York City now, and having some success at it, June is taking the leap although still to this day she has never fully believed Josh died. Not after reading his final text to her. But she is finally excited for her future.

Until one day when she is in Central Park and turns to see a man who is Josh staring at her. She immediately returns back to the days just after he went missing when she would turn and see him, even though he was not there. But, for some reason this is very different. She absolutely knows what she saw was real!

So, she quietly begins to do a bit of research on where his family ended up, his family owned a winery in Napa Valley, and when she pulls the website up, there before her eyes is a picture of Josh, a woman and two young children. In shock, she decides to lie to her fiancé and go out to the winery to confront Josh.

But what June will discover is that nothing makes sense and the deeper she opens the Pandora's box, the more confused she becomes. And then, she discovers her fiancé has been hiding a secret from her. Something she is not sure she can forgive him for.

June must begin to wade through Josh, his family and her own past to discover some terrible truths that were hidden from her all those years ago.

The lesson in Till Death Do Us Part is... love can be the death of not only a life, of their love of their trust but open the flood gates to more questions than answers and horrible secrets and perhaps even more unknown tragedy...until it all becomes exposed.

Thank you #NetGalley #Simon&Schuster #LaurieElizabethFlynn #TillDeathDoUsPart for the advanced copy.

This was an interesting book. June believes her husband drowned years ago. She’s engaged to someone else and she thinks she sees her dead husband. June is determined to figure out what happened to him and if he really died.

Flynn does such a great job of building suspense and keeping you on edge, and the characters are super complex, which made me want to keep reading to see what would happen next. It’s definitely one of those books that’ll make you think twice about relationships and trust. If you're in the mood for something gripping with plenty of twists, this one's a great pick!

Your new husband goes out to get breakfast, but decides to take a swim in the ocean and drowns! WHAT?!?! Years later, when your life is back on track, you see him watching you.

That’s is only one twist in this enjoyable thriller. Just when I thought it was reveal time, the twists kept coming. I really enjoyed this book and was totally invested in the characters and the situations. I changed my opinion of the characters so many times. They were all flawed, each in their own way. After trying to figure things out, I finally gave up and just enjoyed the ride. Yes, some situations seemed over the top and unrealistic, but isn’t that part of a good thriller! This book kept me turning pages and scratching my head. The best part, I found a new author to follow.

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5 stars)

Till Death Do Us Part kicks off with the potential for a fantastic domestic thriller. The Napa Valley setting is richly atmospheric, providing the perfect moody backdrop for the story. The plot centers on June, who’s grappling with the shocking possibility that her deceased ex-husband is alive and stalking her. Told through the dual perspectives of June and her former mother-in-law, the story unravels cryptic clues to reveal a family tangled in secrets and lies.

While the premise and early build-up had me hooked, the progression felt somewhat confusing and lacked the punch I anticipated. That said, it was still an engaging read that kept me intrigued until the end. I’m definitely curious to explore more of Laurie Elizabeth Flynn’s work in the future.

Many thanks to #NetGalley, #TillDeathDoUsPart, and the author for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own and freely expressed.

A dual timeline read involving lots of talk about wine. A whirlwind romance cut tragically short with twists and turns along the way. l thought the characters were mostly like-able but there were too many moments in which something just felt off. Thanks to NetGalley for the read.
