What a rollercoaster! I feel like this is one of those books I think about for a while after I finish reading it. In a good way though. Some of it was predictable and at other times I was surprised.

Leah meet a man in a bar and they have a drink. She thinks she has met the man of her dreams after all she is a woman with a plan. This started off great but then slows to a snails pace with nothing going on. Rich people behaving badly and all the characters had no redeeming qualities.

Lies, lies and more lies.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
What a wild ride Leah begins when she strives to find a rich man looking for luxury and security, no matter the age. She meets Miles and he takes her to his home. The thing is his previous wife died there or was she murdered? Things are going good with many questions appearing- the clock is ticking to the wedding. Is this what she really wants?

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Last Mrs. Sinclair by T.J. Emerson due to be published March 26, 2025.
Leah Williams knows exactly what she wants from life – comfort, luxury and security. Then she meets Miles Sinclair. After the death of his wife last year, Miles is ready to start living his life again, and Leah knows just how to help him… what could be so wrong with that? Leah starts to question things when Miles’ cousin, Vivienne, steps in. What really happened to Miles’ wife? Is Leah in danger?
I loved this book! I never knew who was playing who until the very end. Just when I thought I figured out part of the plot something would change. What an ending! I definitely recommend this book. It was the first one I have read by T.J. Emerson, but it won’t be my last!

Perfect beach read or pool-side diversion. I enjoyed the story immensely and was engrossed in the book from beginning to end

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Last Mrs Sinclair by T. J. Emerson
adventurous dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5 stars

received this ARC from NetGalley for review
this book started out slow but when it picked up it really took off
i really enjoyed the twists this book took and was not expecting the ending .
i think fans of Freida McFadden , Gillian Flynn , and Riley Sager will enjoythis book .

I really wanted to like this and thought it would have a different turnout. Unfortunately it’s a miss for me. I found none of the characters particularly likable and waited for one of the main characters to get their comeuppance. Even minor background characters have no redeeming qualities.I kept reading hoping for karma to take the wheel, but it never happened. Basically, horrible people continue on without consequences (I know they’re not real people, but I get really attached to characters and storylines, haha).

Keep in mind there are some sexually explicit scenes, and includes heavy subject matter (incest).

The mystery is just a little off on every page of this book. The setting is amazing but the story doesn’t live up to its potential.

I enjoyed this! A twisty psychological thriller all about money, s*x, secrets, and lies. I'd love to read more from this author.

"All relationships are based on power, not love."
Such a quirky statement coming from the deceased mother of Leah Williams that proves right as I read more into the book. Leah is a young woman that most people will quickly label a gold digger, as she is looking for a rich man to marry to get the financial stable life she used to live in her childhood. While she may not have the brightest past, I find it hard to dislike her because of her realistic intention, albeit the unconventional journey that most society might deem unethical. She gets lucky attracting a recently widowed Miles Sinclair, who immediately whisks her away to his fascinating chateau in Paris. There she meets Vivienne, a bitter cousin of Miles, who experiences similar grief and shows instant distaste towards Leah by constantly comparing her to Riley, the late Mrs. Sinclair. This invokes Leah's curiosity about Riley as she also hear rumors that Riley's departure might not be an accident as reported.

The book is divided into four parts. At first, I thought this would be an easy predictable read with a few suspense here and there. After a twist at the start of the second part, I was kinda hoping that the author might offer more intricate plot, in spite of the limited number of characters introduced. The progress is slowing down until the end of the third part where the conflict thickens. I won't tell more about the ending, but I can say that it is worth it to read until the very end *wink

I will recommend this book to readers looking for a light mystery read that can be concluded in one or two sittings.

Special thanks to Boldwood Books for providing digital copy of this book for me via NetGalley to review. All opinions are honestly my own! :)

Great story. I loved it so much. I was hanging onto every word. Five stars for sure. Thank you for letting me read it in advance.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

I received an ARC of this book from Boldwood Books via NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback. I have read this author before and enjoy her settings in fabulous vacation spots. I will say this is not quite what I expected; I thought there would be more suspense/danger/thriller stuff. However, it was an easy read which kept me interested.

I am not sure who exactly the reader is supposed to root for in this book. Leah is annoying, and I was getting tired of the brand-dropping on every article of her clothing. Vivienne is somewhat sympathetic, but she's also not very likeable. I feel like we never get quite the whole story about the first wife Riley.

About halfway through, when a twist comes, I was definitely surprised. And the twist at the very end was also clever and not what I expected.

Overall 4 stars - a good beach read.

Leah meets Miles in a bar when he is having a toast to his dead wife on her birthday. Before she knows it, they are dating, and he invites her back to his chateau for a vacation. There, Leah meets Vivienne, who seems to have issues with Leah. But why? Does she want Miles for herself? is there something else going on? What really happened to Miles' first wife? Overall, I thought it was slow and not super interesting.

This was a great twisty read, set in France. I enjoyed the descritive parts and could easily imagine the scene. This is a great read, perfect for the summer months or by a pool.

I gave this book 5 stars! It kept me on my toes as I followed along with Leah trying to figure out if Miles was just a normal older rich man. It was fun to dive into marrying someone for money and status rather than love. You will not regret giving this book a chance. I highly recommend it!

The Last Mrs. Sinclair is a fast-paced, easy-to-fly-through thriller that's perfect for a lazy afternoon. There were moments when I thought the plot was going to get really good, but I ended up underwhelmed. There's a specific twist in the third act that was especially underutilized. Additionally, there's a subplot that I *really* did not enjoy and I wish the author would have taken a different route to establishing that ultimate plot point.

I love the suspense and twisty narrative in this book. I really enjoyed this one i read it in less than a day. T.J Emerson is a new author to me but I will be reading the other books! I was hooked from page 1, its a really well written psychological thriller youll never guess whats coming next.

Highly recommend

Leah thinks she has finally hit the jackpot when she meets recently widowed Miles. Miles sweeps her right into the life she is looking for, He wisks her off to his chateau where she meets his cousin Vivienne, who is anything but welcoming to Leah. Leah soon finds out they both are hiding something from her. Definitely suspenseful and I loved the ending!

Marrying wealthy - the main plot of this story. I liked the suspense of what happened, who did it, how will this end? I was especially pleased with the end result and the epilogue. Will look for more from this author!
