Recenzje

"A Good Marriage is a smart, provocative, insightful page-turner. I couldn't put it down." - Harlan Coben , author of The Boy from the Woods

"The characters look as if their lives are perfect, but their greatest skill is their ability to conceal the adultery, substance abuse and financial ruin percolating underneath.... McCreight is particularly adept at parsing the small but telling details of life among Park Slope's elite." - New York Times Book Review

"A delicious story of intrigue, murder and betrayal."
- People

"Full of dark secrets and surprising twists, A Good Marriage explores what lies beneath the surface of friendships, families, and communities. A captivating psychological thriller that gripped me from beginning to end." - Megan Miranda, author of The Last House Guest

"A thrilling page-turner." - Good Morning America

"What makes a good marriage - in fact and fiction? Kimberly McCreight takes a gimlet-eyed attempt at answering that question in the irresistible domestic drama, A Good Marriage." - Washington Post

"If you were to transplant Big Little Lies (the TV series, not Liane Moriarty's book) from Monterey, California ... to Brooklyn's Park Slope, it would look a bit like Kimberly McCreight's A Good Marriage.... What lifts A Good Marriage above high-level chick-lit status is its legal-thriller aspect, which keeps the story churning urgently along." - Air Mail

"A Good Marriage is absolutely, positively riveting. I could not put this down! Kimberly McCreight has crafted a captivating, thrilling story that bolts out of the gate at a breakneck speed and never misses a step." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & The Six

"I loved A Good Marriage, a fast-paced pageturner that combines the complexity of a legal thriller with the emotional resonance of domestic suspense. You won't be able to put it down!" - Lisa Scottoline, author of Someone Knows

"Filled with emotional urgency, sharp insights and profound revelations, Kimberly McCreight's newest novel is a marvel-both a compelling mystery and a discerning exploration of love and marriage." - Jean Kwok, author of Searching for Sylvie Lee

"Part legal thriller, part domestic suspense, pure page turner, this is a novel that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about marriage." - Mary Kubica, author of The Other Mrs.

"Expertly blends domestic drama with a gripping murder mystery.... Filled with credible plot twists and realistically flawed characters, McCreight's page-turner presses readers to question everything they think makes a "good" marriage. This will stay with the reader long after the finish." - Publishers Weekly, starred review

"McCreight expertly weaves multiple plot threads with a few sly red herrings, paving the way to a series of surprising, and satisfying, reveals. A smartly plotted and altogether successful union of legal thriller and domestic suspense." - Kirkus

"McCreight is a master of misdirection-even if you've already read a lot of domestic thrillers, you'll be shocked by her jaw-dropping twists. As Lizzie edges closer to the truth of what happened in that expensive brownstone, her own struggles add extra depth to the story. Clear a spot next to Big Little Lies and The Couple Next Door-A Good Marriage is just as edgy and just as good."
- Apple Books

"A twisty combo of domestic suspense and legal drama, and a great escape." - AARP's "The Girlfriend"

McCreight burst onto the literary scene in 2013 with her first novel, RECONSTRUCTING AMELIA.... Many readers, like myself, have been waiting for lightning to strike twice for her, and I believe that time may have come with her latest release.... A GOOD MARRIAGE will make you question the very concept of marriage and how even the most insignificant secret could tear down the walls that couples put up to keep their secrets from everyone they know. These factors take what could have been a standard mystery and elevate it to top-notch thriller status. - Bookreporter.com
