Hello everyone. How many of you are married? A show of hands? Come on, you can raise your hand, nobody is watching. Okay, how many are as happy as you were when you first wed? Do you like how things get more comfortable or hate it? I'm lucky, I can honestly answer I am happier with our marriage now than when we first tied the knot. It's something to think about...what makes a good marriage or a great one...what makes it last?
I recently read A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight, It's my first book by this author but I promise you it is not my last. This psychological thriller also has a legal side, but not overwhelmingly so. This story follows Lizzie, a lawyer, who is questioning her troubled marriage. One night, while working late, she receives a phone call from her old friend, Zach. Shockingly, Zach is calling from Rikers prison where he is an inmate, charged with killing his wife. The story, full of characters who aren't what they seem and an ever changing possible murderer, this book flies from beginning to heart pounding end. I hesitate to divulge too much and ruin the fun. Suffice it to say, this might possibly be my favorite book of the year with twists, turns and surprises in plentiful supply!
You'd think this story might make me think about my own marriage, but no, it just makes me want to buy more books by Kimberly McCreight!
