A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight is a lot of things, domestic drama, legal thriller, mystery and more, and I was really impressed with how twisted it was!
Not going to lie to you, it took me a LONG time to get into A Good Marriage. I was almost halfway through the book before I was really invested in the story, but after that I was completely riveted and couldn't wait to find out what would happen. I love that the book is a mix of so many things; there is definitely a domestic drama aspect, but what interested me the most was the legal aspect. I liked that Lizzie works at a law firm, and it was clear to me that this book was written by someone that went to law school. I love legal thrillers and hearing the nitty gritty about what goes on behind the scenes after a murder occurs, so I was happy this book had some of that.
The plot was really intricate and when you read this you are in for a bunch of surprises! When one of the twists hit I had a 'oh that's all?' feeling, but I am here to tell you that is NOT all. I was really happy with how twisty it was and how the secrets just kept coming. I haven't read any other books by this author yet, but I definitely will now. If you are looking for a slow burn with lots of different elements I highly recommend checking out A Good Marriage!
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an advance review copy of this book, all opinions and thoughts are my own.
