"A winner: tense and terrifying with a twist you'll never see coming. You won't soon forget these characters and the shocking ways their lives intersect." ?? Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me

Every marriage has its secrets....

Skyla lives alone in the shadow of the defunct drive-in movie theater that she and her husband ran for nearly fifty years. Ever since Hollis's death in a freak accident the year before, Skyla spends her nights ruminating about the regrets and deceptions in her long marriage. That is, until she rents a cottage on the property to a charming British man, Teddy Cornwell....

A thousand miles away, Linelle is about to turn fifty. Bored by her spouse and fired from her job when a questionable photo from her youth surfaces on social media, her only source of joy is an on-line affair with her very first love, a man she's not seen in nearly thirty years, Teddy Cornwell...

While in New York City, Jeremy, a failed and bitter writer, accepts an assignment to review a new restaurant in Providence. Years ago, Providence was the site of his first great love and first great heartbreak??and maybe, just maybe, he'll look her up when he's back in town...

Part page-turning thriller, part homage to film noir, and dazzling in its insight into the often desperate desires of the human heart, Her Last Affair is a tense and atmospheric novel of love lost and found again… (mehr)

Three storylines and each one is fascinating! The way they wind around each other will keep you in your seat reading leaving your errands undone! My first book by John Searles but definitely not my last one! ( )

Thank you NetGalley for this engaging book. There are two story lines but the one that got me the most was Skyla’s. (Great, original name btw). She is a widow, her husband Hollis has died recently. Did Skyla help with that? She wears a lanyard around her neck with keys. In her pockets are an assortment of pills, they’re all jumbled together because Skyla is losing her eyesight. This doesn’t stop her from flirting with her tenant in the twin house of her’s in New York State. I loved the descriptions, the smell of the woods, the way Searles describes life. The fact he includes a dog. This would be a great book for book club—one chapter at a time. ( )

3.5 rounded up.

I’m really not sure why, but I very rarely seem to read male authors. I’m now adding Mr. Searles to my list of authors that I need to read more of their books.

This was a different type of thriller. Definitely had no clue where the author was going or what was going to happen, especially since I had no clue of the author’s writing style. Slow in parts and a little “common, cut to the chase”, but a twisty thriller none the less. Characters were an eclectic group of sad sacks that I couldn’t figure out how they would all fit together. Story slowly developed, and everything was tied together at the end.

Thanks to Mrs Searles, William Marrow and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone. ( )

This was a bit of a psychological thriller and you really had no idea what was all going on exactly or how everyone was connected at first. Told through various characters, each one had their story to tell a past that they had held secret, and secrets that had stayed hidden. The main character Skyla has rented out the other identical cottage to her, to this mysterious man who she had a feeling would pay as expected and not complicate the life she had cut out for herself. The two grow closer over time, but it still a bit of cat and mouse as they each try to gain more information about the other persons past and what has brought them to this time in their life. Skyla the widow living by the abandoned drive in movie theatre, Teddy the perfect renter with that England accent, Jeremy just trying to find his way in the world after somewhat of a cruel upbringing, and Linelle trying to find something from her past. The storylines of these characters all masterfully get wound together through time and I love how the author used the old movie theatre as the entires to each chapter- with dialogues from various movies over the years. Thank you to William Morrow for the free ARC. ( )

Skyla has recently lost her sight. She lives next door to a rundown drive-in movie theater which she and her husband ran for years. She decides to rent the cottage next door to a Teddy Cornwell. Skyla just loves his accent! Teddy is currently trying to lure an old girlfriend, Linelle away from her boring marriage. So, this seems the perfect place. Then there is Jeremy. Jeremy is a restaurant critic. His next job is Providence, RI. This town holds some unique memories and quite a few he wants to relive.

Now that I have introduced all the characters…let’s get to the meat of the story! This novel starts a bit slow, but that is just the introduction to the characters…so stay with it. Because it sure builds and builds…until the intensity does not stop and you just have to see where it is going to end.

I think my favorite character is Skyla. She is not at all what you think! And I love the way the author throws in some humor. What a great way to keep the story moving and the reader engrossed.

Need a good psychological thriller…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )
