PickBig Little Lies meets Presumed Innocent in this “irresistible domestic drama” (Washington Post) from the New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia, in which a woman’s brutal murder reveals the perilous compromises some couples make—and the secrets they keep—in order to stay together.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.

"3.5 I don't usually enjoy domestic thrillers involving rich people drama or courtroom thrillers, but this had a bit of both and I still had a great time reading. I can often see a twist or "who done it" from a mile away, but I have to admit that I had no idea where this was going. Although I guessed a few minor reveals, I was clueless as to what the ending would be. I have to give props to the author for that alone because so rarely am I totally stumped until the very end and I absolutely love it when that happens."
"I don’t think I’ll reread this book, but boy did it get my heart PUMPIN.<br/><br/>I was shocked on so many levels as I turned corners in this book trying to uncover the truth, which I feel that every character was trying to do too: Maude, Sarah, Lizzie, Sam, Amanda, and even Zach (though he’s a turd).<br/><br/>I felt a little crazy when Lizzie uncovered Amanda’s delusions, but all in all, I was very satisfied with this read. ☺️<br/><br/><br/>EDIT: Down to 3 stars. I liked this book, but it just doesn’t measure up to some of my all-time favorites and like I said, I won’t reread this book."
