A Good Marriage

Zusatztext 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. Informationen zum Autor Kimberly McCreight is the New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia , which was nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, and Alex Awards; Where They Found Her ; and The Outliers young adult trilogy. She attended Vassar College and graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two daughters.
