ABOUT THE BOOK
TILL DEATH DO US PART (Simon and Schuster; August 13) by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn has everything you could want in a high stakes thriller—buried desire, a (supposedly) dead husband, revenge, and a shocking final twist. Set against the backdrop of Napa Valley vineyards, this is a sumptuous, deeply atmospheric novel about the sacrifices women make for their families and how we all have secrets that we bury–though the lengths Laurie’s characters go to in order to keep theirs hidden can be deadly. Ten years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon…or at least that is what the police told her. His body was never found. But June is now finally ready to move on. She is engaged and is excited to begin a new chapter in her life when, out of the blue, she sees her first husband on the street in Brooklyn. Is she losing it, or is it possible that her first husband never died? That question becomes impossible to ignore when, days later, she is researching honeymoon destinations and comes across a vineyard in Napa featuring a picture of her dead husband, very much alive and listed as the owner of the property. With her wedding looming, June secretly flies to Napa, determined to get answers. Is everything she thought about her past a lie?
For readers of Laura Dave and Megan Miranda, TILL DEATH DO US PART is a perfect book to tuck into your beach bag or read late into the night on your summer vacation. Compelling plot aside, my favorite thing about this exciting novel is that it features two complex female protagonists who shatter the confines of convention. It’s a book with heart, propulsion, and lots of good wine.
