Gwen Landon—poster woman for perfect wife, mother, and suburban bliss—is found brutally bludgeoned to death behind her Floridian McMansion. Beautiful and beloved by her community, Gwen makes an unlikely victim. But just a scratch below the surface of her perfectly curated world reveals one far more sinister. When looking back over the six months leading up to her death, the question of, “who would do this?” quickly shifts to, “who wouldn’t?” 

Commercially successful food blogger and mother of three, Nora Holliday never imagined she would have the nerve, let alone time, to get involved an affair. Trapped in an unhappy marriage, she does whatever it takes to keep it all together. But when Nora runs into Gwen Landon’s husband at a hotel in Orlando, his easy kindness and warmth proves too tempting to resist. As their affair spirals dangerously out of control, it seems things can’t get more complicated—until Gwen turns up dead.

Thank you to Netgalley and MIRA for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was so excited and honored to be a part of this blog tour! I read Margot’s first book, Best Friends Forever, last year and LOVED it! The Last Affair was no different!

So, an interesting thing about The Last Affair is that you find out who died in the first chapter. You then go back 6 months to find out what events lead up to the murder. Everyone was suspect. Everyone was sketchy. There were so.many. possibilities about who could have been the killer. I thought everyone did at one point, except the person who actually did the killing!

Another thing that made this novel so great was that all the characters were real. They were believable. The actions/conversations were true to the characters. You liked the “good guys” and hated the “bad guys”. But did you really know who was good or bad?I didn’t.

The plot was fast paced and interesting. I could not put this novel down. I was so glad for the four hour car ride to Alabama so I could read! I’m sure my husband hated it though. Sorry, babe! I had to know the killer!

I’ve already recommended this novel to my thriller loving family and friends. It is definitely one of my favorites that I have read!
