Certaines femmes ont tout. D'autres n'ont que ce qu'elles méritent. Daphné Parrish a, en apparence, une vie parfaite. Un mari richissime et attentionné, deux enfants, une maison magnifique. Amber Patterson, elle, en a assez de mener une existence qu'elle juge trop modeste. Misant sur l'empathie et la gentillesse de Daphné, qu'elle parvient à apitoyer grâce à des mensonges, elle devient rapidement sa confidente, presque un membre de la famille. Elle aussi, se dit-elle, a droit au conte de fée. Et rien ni personne ne pourra l'empêcher de le vivre, même s'il lui faut détruire celle qu'elle appelle désormais sa meilleure amie et faire imploser son couple. Mais tous ses efforts pourraient être réduits à néant si Daphné venait à découvrir son passé, qu'Amber a soigneusement enterré.

Once out of prison, Jackson swears he’s a changed man but Daphne knows all too well that Jackson can’t be trusted. When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, the three of them find unlikely allies in one another, but who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game. With shocking turns and entertaining characters, The Next Mrs. Parrish will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about duplicity and betrayal.
