A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight: Big Little Lies meets Presumed Innocent in this riveting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia and Where They Found Her (a previous LibraryReads pick!), in which a woman’s brutal murder reveals the perilous compromises some couples make—and the secrets they keep—in order to stay together.
"A Good Marriage is a smart, provocative, insightful page-turner. I couldn’t put it down."
—Harlan Coben
"Full of dark secrets and surprising twists, A Good Marriage explores what lies beneath the surface of friendships, families, and communities. A captivating, can’t-put-it-down psychological thriller that gripped me from beginning to end."
