Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I requested this title as it seemed a bit different with the wine spin as I enjoy fermentation science. It’s why I gave the book 3 stars as it’s a personal interest to me.

However, the side information to start of the books sections while they give good science info they have no connection to the story. While yes most takes place on a vineyard or connection to vineyards the actual vignettes have no bearing on the action. They don’t even serve as metaphors. It just seems like randomness for the sake of being different.

This could be excused if the characters were likable . They aren’t. You don’t want to root for them in any way. The one family is just awful in their behaviors during different parts of their lives.. I won’t post spoilers but boy.. Poor Michelle.

Now I’d this was changed into a thriller that addressed the messed up decision making of Bev and her sister than maybe it would have been redeemable but that wasn’t the case.

Lastly, the other story line about what happened to Josh? WTF? It’s like a page count was reached so it became an after thought of something thrown together in an epilogue.

So disappointing…

Laurie Elizabeth Flynn became a favorite after her break out novel The Girls are All So Nice Here. The newest domestic thriller is one that has plenty of twists but falls a bit short with its plot and turns. I felt like there was almost too many gotcha moments that didn't quite add to the story. I loved the development of Bev, as well as the setting of the story. Everything towards the end felt a bit rushed as well, the last chapter especially. Overall, it was pretty solid!

This novel was amazing! I couldn’t stop reading. I love how the story was told from the mother’s perspective for the past and the wife’s perspective in the present. There were so many twists and turns. I couldn’t read fast enough to see what was going to happen. I also loved how it read just as much as a romance novel as it did a thriller.

This book was great and I read it in one sitting. It has 2 distinct POVs and alternates between them: one is June, whose husband Josh died 10 years ago on their honeymoon, which she still can’t fully get over; and Bev, Josh’s mom, from when he was a teenager. Both these stories are compelling (though I think I liked Bev’s story best) and they converge to build out a narrative that seeks to solve the mystery of Josh’s death as well as other things that happened within their family.

These characters were deep and I felt that I could understand them even when I didn’t agree with the decisions they made. I was never bored reading through their internal monologues because I could empathize with their struggles. There were a couple really great twists in the book, some which I didn’t even come close to guessing. I found the ending to be sad, and the author deliberately left some questions unanswered, but I think it worked well with the rest of the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed this read (as well as this author’s previous book) and would definitely recommend to those who like mysteries and domestic suspense. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

From the very first page, Laurie Flynn's rich, evocative prose captured my attention. The narrative weaves suspense with deeply emotional character arcs, all set against the vibrant backdrop of wine country. And I didn't guess the twists.

This is my first time reading this author and I have to say, it likely won't be the ,ast.

It took me a bit to get into the rhythm of current history with June, past history with Bev but as I read on it flowed easily.
The story takes a.ot of twists and turns, and still left one thing a mystery but definitely kept me needing to know more. The Epilogue was the most unexpected twist of all and goes to show us all you just never know the truth til the very end.

I highly recommend this book.

"Till Death Do Us Part" is atmospheric and dark. The characters are wild and the twists are plentiful. Recommended reading for lovers of thrillers and suspense. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This was the first book I have read of Laurie Elizabeth Flynn. It won’t be my last!
So many twists and turns. I didn’t know what happened until the very end and I didn’t see that coming!
There are a lot of characters and it gets confusing if you aren’t paying attention. So, pay attention and enjoy the journey on this one!
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a very good book! The surprises just kept right on coming! I really loved how realistic realistic and atmospheric it was and all of the characters had at least a few endearing traits.

As a HUGE fan of Laurie Elizabeth Flynn's "The Girls Are All So Nice Here," I was ecstatic to get my hands on her next adult suspense! And boy it did not disappoint. Set in lush Napa Valley wine country, this book is a sensory feast wrapped together with multiple mysteries AND an examination of womanhood (and motherhood) from two very different POVs. The mystery of June's husband's disappearance will definitely keep you turning pages, but what got me in the heart was the story of two very different women finding the second love of their lives and confronting the limits of how much we humans can truly know about one another.

Till Death Do Us Part is a train wreck of a novel. A young girl, Michele, is murdered and there is an endless list of suspects. The book has many characters. Michelle is merely a stick figure surrounded by unlikable adults. We are given many lessons on wine, but I don't drink wine, so they did nothing for me. I think the character Bev is the worst part of the novel, but it's a contest. How I managed to read the entire novel makes me think I am a glutton for punishment. Oh well.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I enjoyed reading Till Death Do Us Part. However, I must confess that the main character, June, annoyed me. She seemed to bring upon herself more anxiety and stress as well as fear than she should have. I realize that her behavior was necessary to the plot development, but I considered at one point not continuing to read the book. However, she was right to question what had happened to her husband and whether people were involved.
What kept me reading was that toward the middle of the story new twists and turns started happening as she gradually learned more and more about her dead husband’s family and the secrets they had hidden from everyone. June felt everyone was against her and trying to hurt her or perhaps even kill her, just as happened to Josh. Yet she couldn’t accept his death as having been real and eventually thought he was alive and possibly stalking her. She became manic in her search for what she believed was the truth, though at each step she was proven wrong. Then, of course, some of the twists seemed a little too “convenient,” like her fiancé turning out to have known a former girlfriend of her dead husband. Yet, all eventually gets resolved and the murderer is found .
I thought this story was well written. It was fast paced, which echoed June’s manic search for the truth . The characters were complex and their life stories were revealed throughout the book. I just wonder why the lesbian element needed to be included. (I realize it adds drama to the dynamic between Bev and David, but this inclusion is becoming commonplace in novels today and seems to be becoming formulaic in writing. ) It does provide an explanation for Bev’s need to escape and thus switch identities, but she could have fled for other reasons just as well. Anyway, overall the book is good. It kept me interested and wanting to see if June would find peace of mind.
I will definitely recommend this book to my friends.

Well the big twist about halfway through definitely couldn't have been predicted. Without giving anything away, it immediately made me groan and think this was going to play out like a bad soap opera. One big question was answered (but not until the epilogue) but there were others that weren't. There's lots of wine information too, I was initially interested but found myself starting to skim it in some parts.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Book candy...that's what I call thrillers like this. They are the kind of stories I parcel out to myself night after night before bedtime, a chapter or two at a time until I get close to the end and devour the last quarter of the book.

June's husband perished a week after they were married yet ten years later, she thinks she sees him. Could he still be alive? Faked his death? But why?

Although this mystery trope is hardly new, the two narrators (the widowed wife and the dead man's mother) have great voices and interior lives. To be honest, I thought the mother's story was far more interesting and her chapters were ones I was eager to read more of, but both POVs served the plot well.

Definitely recommend to fans of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, Lisa Jewell...thanks to Netgalley for the arc to review.

Kept me guessing until the very end! I enjoyed the mystery thriller aspects juxtaposed with the discussion of motherhood and how it isn't for everyone.

Til Death Do Us Part completely caught me off guard. I anticipated a story about June's tragic loss of her husband, Josh, Falling in love again with Kyle and preparing to move on with him only to find out Josh didn't drowned after all. I thought it would be more heartfelt about the conflict in June's heart over marrying Kyle and still wondering about Josh. When she starts to really dig into what could've happened to Josh she discovers so much she didn't know about Josh and their whirlwind romance and wedding. Did she even know him at all? The back and forth between the past and present was a wonderful way to give the reader the backstory that helped us get to the point in the future where it all comes together. This book was definitely one that kept me wondering what happened in the past and guessing about what truly happened to Josh. Everybody has secrets and they way they're revealed in this book is magnificent! The ending was completely unexpected and the epilogue....wow! This was a great read. Thanks NetGalley for the e-ARC!

This one had be like “whaaaaaaa????” Until the end!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⏰ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫: 10 years ago, June’s husband drowned on their honeymoon. The problem is, June keeps seeing him. She’s moved on, blissfully happy with her new man, Kyle, but she can’t ignore that her dead husband is popping up around town. After some research, she discovers he lives in Napa Valley so she takes off, ready to confront her past…

💡𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This book was a veritable whirlwind, and one I will say had me guessing until the end (I guessed wrong), so the author gets points for giving me plot points I never saw coming. I’m usually pretty fair at predicting endings and I completely failed with this one.

I enjoyed the alternating POVs and the wine education (but I’m into wine) and could well-picture the landscape and wineries. The pacing was fairly quick with some meandering in the vineyard. I enjoyed the stroll.

My main issue is the ending, and because I’m committed to being spoiler-free I can only say it felt… questionable. I’ll leave it there until publication.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the ARC and the furious day of reading in exchange for my always-honest reviews.

Till Death Do Us Part is written in dual timelines. We follow June, a young widow, looking for answers about her "dead" husband. Then there's Bev, the mother of said "dead" husband, who runs a vineyard with her family.

Both timelines have heartache and secrets to reveal. Neither story was lacking in heartache and kept throwing the twists out!

I enjoyed the unearthing of secrets and lies, the writing was wonderful and easy to follow (even with the dual timelines).

There were a few moments I felt it dragging out, maybe some pages could've been eliminated...

Overall, this book delivered and I am looking forward to reading more of LE Flynn!

Thanks NetGalley and Simon Schuster for the ARC!

This book did nothing for me, it just felt incredibly outlandish. The alternating storylines didn’t work for this one

I give the book 4.5 stars. I received a free ebook from Netgalley for a fair review. This was my first time reading a book from the author Laurie Flynn. I was intrigued by the premise of the book. The book was very different than what I was expecting.

The book was really a mystery. I thought it was a romance book. I really liked the characters. I learned more about the characters throughout the book. The characters were definitely multidimensional.

The book went back and forth between the points of view of a few characters. It went back and forth in time in the chapters. In some books, it's hard to follow when this happens. It was done really well in this book.

The book really deals with complex issues. It makes you think, what would you do in a similar situation. How would your life be different, if you made different choices.

The book is easy to read. The more of the book you read, you begin to understand that the book is giving you clues about what is going to happen. On the surface, the book is talking about different things.

The book is very engaging. I am so glad I got the opportunity to read this book. I hope to read more books from the author in the future.
