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.
##作為懸疑,順序看是好看的。但是說整本書的邏輯,有刻意賣關子的嫌疑,刻意不提suspect,花大量篇幅吸引讀者注意力到其他地方,中間的gap用精神疾病的cover,感覺有點偷懶
評分##懸疑常用的技巧作者都很嫻熟,樹立一個又一個的目標讓讀者選擇,但其實真實的凶手根本不在選項之內,設置反轉for shock value,作為讀者得不到什麼參與揭秘的快感(另外,單身最快樂,真的🙃
評分##第一本讀完的英文小說!
評分##結婚唯一的好處可能是如果被殺瞭 statistically speaking凶手很好找
評分##慢,很慢,主角夫妻太平麵,中間的twist後麵也沒什麼解釋。如果把書名當中心思想的話,個人覺得偏題瞭
評分##第一本讀完的英文小說!
評分##感覺有點亂,不知道作者到底想說點啥。難道就是想講一個故事嗎?那麼故事本身一般,有一些小轉摺,但是屬於可讀可不讀。
