Thank you @rararesources and @TraceyJEmerson for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Last Mrs, Sinclair is a crime/ thriller genre. This is a fantastic read for the summer. You know when you really get into a book, and you just want to get to the end because you need to get the answers you are seeking quickly, this was me. I was hooked to the end and I loved the twists in the book which I did not see coming. I like the front cover and title it works well together also giving a summer vibe to it. The story is about Leah who wants a nice life and security behind her, but she needs to find a man that can hit these criteria, and she falls upon Miles who just lost his wife. The Last Mrs, Sinclair is gripping and full of suspense through the book. I loved the setting where it was set in France, sounds beautiful there and would love to go. I am not really sure if I liked any of the characters really they each had their own issues and could not be trusted not people...
