This one is very much in the same style as Paula Hawkins, Ruth Ware, etc. It's a page-turner/mystery told from the perspective of a woman. Right off the bat, the narrator draws you into the story. Within just a handful of pages, the story starts to unfold and you're introduced to the characters that are no doubt at the heart of the story.
The dialogue here felt in no way forced--and I appreciated that. Even from the beginning, the pace flowed well and the characters felt like they had some substance to them. That's not always easy to pull off, but A Good Marriage did it with ease.
What I didn't love? The jumps between perspectives and format. I don't mind shifts in narration but when readers are abruptly thrown into, say, a courtroom document it gets a little more difficult to wrap my head around the story itself. But here, it wasn't enough that I would put the book down.
