Ten years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon. Josh’s body was 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 named Kyle. She’s excited to begin a new chapter in her life, enjoy a picture-perfect wedding, and start a family.
But out of the blue, she sees…him. Josh, her first husband. Is this just a hallucination from the guilt June 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 left her past behind, June 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.
A sumptuous, shocking, steamy thriller set in the vineyards of California's Napa Valley, brimming with revelations, betrayals and shocking twists. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Jane Harper and Miranda Cowley Heller.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Whether in the vineyards of Napa Valley or a bar in Brooklyn, the flavours of each wine glass are complex—but the themes of this domestic thriller are even more intricate. Wine bar owner June is happy and about to marry Kyle, when she sees a man in her local park who looks exactly like her first husband. But Josh is supposed to be dead, after going missing on their honeymoon. Heartbroken, June had slowly pieced her life back together, taking 10 years before she could consider marrying again. Following the potential sighting of Josh, she flies to Napa, where he grew up, to search for answers. The narrative is split between June’s discoveries and the secrets revealed by Josh’s mother, Bev, which offer an interesting shift in perspective. Till Death Do Us Part makes the most of its atmospheric wine-world setting and is full of delectable twists and turns.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this half-hearted domestic thriller from Flynn (The Girls Are All So Nice Here), a woman has her impending wedding derailed by the emergence of her missing first husband. In 2012, when newlyweds June and Josh were on their honeymoon in San Francisco, Josh left their hotel one morning and never returned; unable to locate his body, authorities assumed he drowned after attempting to swim in rough waters. Ten years later, a 39-year-old June has opened a wine bar in Brooklyn and fallen for the stable and supportive Kyle. When Kyle proposes, June enthusiastically accepts, and they make quick work of their wedding prep—until June spots a man who looks exactly like Josh on the street one afternoon, and he disappears before she can confront him. Convinced that Josh is still alive, June grows obsessed with finding him, jeopardizing her relationship with Kyle. Meanwhile, chapters set in 1999 and written from the perspective of Josh's mother, Bev, gradually fill in key details about Josh's adolescence. Flynn serves up plenty of steamy sex and wrings emotion from June's plight, but the plotting grows sloppier as the novel wears on, and the denouement comes too late. This misses the mark.
