A Good Marriage

This book grips you from the first chapter. The characters are well developed. Told in the voices of two different women, the storyline comes together - with twists I never expected. I could not put this down as I wanted to see what happened next. Definitely a great read.

A Good Marriage is a well-written page-turner of a legal thriller guaranteed to keep you reading into the night. It starts with a murder of a woman, Amanda, and the subsequent suspicion of her husband, Zach, for that murder. Lizzie Kitsakis, a federal prosecutor turned elite firm lawyer, gets the call from Zach, a friend from law school with whom she has lost touch and agrees to represent him. To clear her client's name she delves into the lives of the super wealthy in Park Slope Brooklyn whose children attend a prestigious private school. There are multiple layers of secrets and delusions. Dysfunctional marriages abound. Lizzie is a likeable but flawed character and must confront the problems within her own marriage to disentangle the many interconnected webs surrounding Amanda's death. The suspense is built deftly and the reader is hooked. For fans of Big Little Lies.
