A “seductive, addictive, and penetrating” (Samantha M. Bailey, #1 internationally bestselling author of A Friend in the Dark) thriller set in the vineyards of Napa Valley that asks: what happens when the husband you thought died years ago shows up alive?

Ten years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon, his body never found. Now, a decade later, June is finally ready to move on. She owns a natural wine bar in Brooklyn and is engaged to a patient, supportive man. She’s excited to finally begin a new chapter in her life and start a family.

But out of the blue, she sees him—Josh, her first husband. Is this just a hallucination from the guilt Jane carries about finally moving on, or is it possible that her husband never died in the first place?

June tries to forget about this vision, chalking it up to grief and nerves, but soon enough, she stumbles across a website for a winery in Napa, and the owner in the photo is identical to her dead husband. With her upcoming wedding looming and a fiancé who’s already worried she hasn’t quite left her past behind, June secretly flies to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all the secrets she’s about to unlock because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.

Raves and Reviews

A USA Today Bestseller

“Taut, twisty.... Multiple suspenseful, unexpected twists and turns later, the truth—dark, tragic, and shocking—emerges. Fans of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins will enjoy this one.” —Booklist

“Set in the wine-soaked Napa Valley, TILL DEATH DO US PART ignites in the first paragraph, catching fire until the explosive conclusion. This brilliantly written, spellbinding suspense bravely weaves in issues of family, identity, love, and loss. Through every genius twist and turn, Flynn had me in a chokehold, unable to put the book down until I ripped through every delicious page. Seductive, addictive, and penetrating, this domestic thriller will set you ablaze.” —SAMANTHA M. BAILEY, #1 international bestselling author of A Friend in the Dark

“Featuring a labyrinthine plot that's as twisty as grape vines and as complex as good wine, this novel kept me guessing until the very end. Suspenseful, sexy, gritty, and empowering—perfect for fans of Laura Dave and Ashley Elston!”—MARISSA STAPLEY, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky

“A sexy, sensuous novel with shocking secrets, buried desires, and whip-lash twists.”—ROBYN HARDING, bestselling author of The Drowning Woman

“No one spins a story that is equal parts heartwrenching and velvet dark as Flynn does. This is a raw and unflinching look at all of the sacrifices being a woman requires, written in Flynn's trademark vivid prose. I hated that it had to end.” –JESSE Q. SUTANTO, bestselling author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice For Murderers

“A novel to be savoured. Instantly engrossing, TILL DEATH DO US PART is an exquisite tale of relationships caught in time; a novel as sophisticated as fine wine.” –LISA BALLANTYNE, author of The Guilty One and The Innocent One

“In prose as sensuous and intoxicating as a spill of fine wine, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn unravels her characters, stripping them down to their most fascinating and depraved. While this story centers around the mystery of a dead but reappearing husband, at its core, it’s about the mysterious wilderness in every human heart that no partner can ever fully know, and the maddening work of loving people who will always be, in fundamental ways, strangers. Unfolding in serpentine movements, twist after twist, TILL DEATH DO US PART explores how far some will go to possess the ones they love. Chilling and shocking, this is the definition of addictive reading.” –ASHLEY WINSTEAD, author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour

“An intoxicating, atmospheric and twist-packed testament to the impossibility of truly knowing even those we love the most.”—ELLERY LLOYD, New York Times bestselling author of The Club

“With prose as decadent and sumptuous as the sun-drenched Napa Valley vineyard in which it’s set, TILL DEATH TO US PART is Laurie Elizabeth Flynn at the height of her powers: sultry, enthralling, and utterly unputdownable, it’s not only a heart-pounding suspense but also a heart-wrenching exploration of grief, motherhood, marriage, and the redemptive hope of second chances. With razor-sharp social commentary, dueling, propulsive timelines, and jaw-dropping twists, I’m calling this now: TILL DEATH DO US PART will be on everybody’s lips this summer.” —MAY COBB, author of The Hunting Wives

“A twisty, compulsive meditation on love and family, with an irresistible Napa backdrop and a hoard of secrets that reveal themselves gradually, like the notes of a vintage Cabernet.” –KATE MAXWELL, author of Hush

“As a huge fan of Flynn’s first adult suspense novel, The Girls Are All So Nice Here, I’ve been waiting for her follow up for so long. And it did not disappoint. Flynn expertly moved us between June’s story in the present and a twisty family saga in the past. This novel has it all; a husband who may or may not have returned from the grave, a family who are hiding a whole bunch of secrets and a woman trying to make sense of it all. It’s twisty, touching and written with Flynn’s signature hypnotic style. And it’s set in the vineyards of Napa. All thrillers should be paired with wine from now on.” –KATY BRENT, author of How to Kill Men and Get Away with It
