A Good Marriage
Autor Kimberly McCreighten Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2020
The perfect life. The perfect neighbourhood. The perfect murder.
Welcome to Park Slope, where everyone has something to hide...
_____________
When young lawyer Lizzie gets a call for help from an old friend accused of murdering his wife, she reluctantly says yes. Zach is the chief suspect in his wife, Amanda's, murder but there's no way he could be guilty - is there?
The further Lizzie dives into the glossy world of Brooklyn's Park Slope, the more she realises that things don't add up. Zach doesn't know the most basic details of his wife's past, and Amanda's friends barely know he exists.
And in uncovering the truth, Lizzie will be forced to confront dark secrets that lie at the heart of her own once perfect marriage...

Recenzii
“A Good Marriage is a smart, provocative, insightful page-turner. I couldn’t put it down.” — Harlan Coben , author of The Boy from the Woods
“The characters look as if their lives are perfect, but their greatest skill is their ability to conceal the adultery, substance abuse and financial ruin percolating underneath…. McCreight is particularly adept at parsing the small but telling details of life among Park Slope’s elite.” — New York Times Book Review
“A delicious story of intrigue, murder and betrayal.”
— People

“If you were to transplant Big Little Lies (the TV series, not Liane Moriarty’s book) from Monterey, California … to Brooklyn’s Park Slope, it would look a bit like Kimberly McCreight’s A Good Marriage.… What lifts A Good Marriage above high-level chick-lit status is its legal-thriller aspect, which keeps the story churning urgently along.” — Air Mail

“McCreight is a master of misdirection—even if you’ve already read a lot of domestic thrillers, you’ll be shocked by her jaw-dropping twists. As Lizzie edges closer to the truth of what happened in that expensive brownstone, her own struggles add extra depth to the story. Clear a spot next to Big Little Lies and The Couple Next Door—A Good Marriage is just as edgy and just as good.”
— Apple Books
"A twisty combo of domestic suspense and legal drama, and a great escape.” — AARP's "The Girlfriend"
McCreight burst onto the literary scene in 2013 with her first novel, RECONSTRUCTING AMELIA…. Many readers, like myself, have been waiting for lightning to strike twice for her, and I believe that time may have come with her latest release…. A GOOD MARRIAGE will make you question the very concept of marriage and how even the most insignificant secret could tear down the walls that couples put up to keep their secrets from everyone they know. These factors take what could have been a standard mystery and elevate it to top-notch thriller status. — Bookreporter.com
