Lizzie Kitsakis is working late when she gets the call. Grueling hours are standard at elite law firms like Young & Crane, but they’d be easier to swallow if Lizzie was there voluntarily. Until recently, she’d been a happily underpaid federal prosecutor. That job and her brilliant, devoted husband Sam―she had everything she’d ever wanted. And then, suddenly, it all fell apart.
No. That’s a lie. It wasn’t sudden, was it? Long ago the cracks in Lizzie’s marriage had started to show. She was just good at averting her eyes.
The last thing Lizzie needs right now is a call from an inmate at Rikers asking for help―even if Zach Grayson is an old friend. But Zach is desperate: his wife, Amanda, has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs in their Brooklyn brownstone. And Zach’s the primary suspect.
As Lizzie is drawn into the dark heart of idyllic Park Slope, she learns that Zach and Amanda weren’t what they seemed―and that their friends, a close-knit group of fellow parents at the exclusive Brooklyn Country Day school, might be protecting troubling secrets of their own. In the end, she’s left wondering not only whether her own marriage can be saved, but what it means to have a good marriage in the first place.
##Finish on one sitting, a real thriller. Everyone has its own dirty laundries, so dose every couple and every family. Let’s face it, we all get our own issues, which makes the book title sounds so ironic, “ Agood marriage”, ah, what is its definition then? Spoiler alert: the husband is NOT the killer.
评分##悬疑常用的技巧作者都很娴熟,树立一个又一个的目标让读者选择,但其实真实的凶手根本不在选项之内,设置反转for shock value,作为读者得不到什么参与揭秘的快感(另外,单身最快乐,真的🙃
评分##结婚唯一的好处可能是如果被杀了 statistically speaking凶手很好找
评分##去年无意在b站看到某up主推荐,就马上下载了,但因为太厚一直没看。没想到前两天读了几页,就一直放不下来了。 故事一开始,主角律师Lizzie收到一通来自法学院同学Zach的电话:他因为谋杀妻子而关入大牢,但他是无辜的,虽然和女主十多年没联系,但他知道她是唯一能帮他的人。女主本只想帮他找个刑法律师(她是公司法律师),但因为各种原因不得不代理Zach(不代理这故事也不用写了),没想到随着案情调查,自己越陷越深。 忘了在哪里看过,自从gone girl大火后,描写婚姻关系的悬疑小说铺天盖地而来,但是质量参差有别。这本书属于优质的那类,虽然开头很俗气,但是故事走向几乎让人想象不到,看起来非常过瘾。
评分##后面疯狂反转 爱了爱了
评分##meh
评分##感觉有点乱,不知道作者到底想说点啥。难道就是想讲一个故事吗?那么故事本身一般,有一些小转折,但是属于可读可不读。

评分##太精彩了!很久没读过这种类型的悬疑小说了 期待影视剧版 应该会很精彩 最后说一句Zach真是个究极渣男
