Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

 This book needed an LGBT tag...if it had it, I would not have requested it for review.

In the mystery Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn coming out August 13, June Emery is shocked when her husband Josh Kelly who drowned during their honeymoon in 2012 shows up near her natural wine bar in Brooklyn, New York, in August of 2022. Next, while perusing websites for Napa Valley wineries for honeymoon possibilities with her fiancé Kyle Parker, she finds a photo of her first husband on one of the websites. Does one plus one equal a living Josh?

Before she gets married again, June must go to Napa and confront Andrew Smith at his winery. She will be blown away by all the secrets that have been kept over the years, learning that all she knew about Josh Kelly was not the whole truth.

On a separate timeline in 1999 in Napa County, Bev and her husband David run the Golden Grape Winery, having taken it over from his family. Bev finds a restaurant receipt for two dinners at a restaurant she has not been to in quite some time. While first denying and sidestepping, David admits to a one-time “weak moment.” Bev throws him out of the house at just the worst time: the grapes are ready to be harvested. She realizes if they divorce, she will lose her home and her source of income as well as becoming a single parent of a child not yet one year old. She wishes she never found that receipt!

These two timelines will eventually come together in one twisty mystery that readers will not want to put down until the puzzles are solved.

Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, a former model who lives in London, Ontario, is the author of three young adult novels. Her adult fiction debut, The Girls Are All So Nice Here, was named a USA Today Best Book of 2021. Till Death Do Us Part, is her second adult novel.
