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.
##去年无意在b站看到某up主推荐,就马上下载了,但因为太厚一直没看。没想到前两天读了几页,就一直放不下来了。 故事一开始,主角律师Lizzie收到一通来自法学院同学Zach的电话:他因为谋杀妻子而关入大牢,但他是无辜的,虽然和女主十多年没联系,但他知道她是唯一能帮他的人。女主本只想帮他找个刑法律师(她是公司法律师),但因为各种原因不得不代理Zach(不代理这故事也不用写了),没想到随着案情调查,自己越陷越深。 忘了在哪里看过,自从gone girl大火后,描写婚姻关系的悬疑小说铺天盖地而来,但是质量参差有别。这本书属于优质的那类,虽然开头很俗气,但是故事走向几乎让人想象不到,看起来非常过瘾。
评分律师介入版大小谎言,掀开美满幸福的中产华袍,爬出了一堆虱子。翻查Amanda柜子和日记那段极大满足了我的偷窥欲,紧张兴奋!?
评分 评分##人物真的好多 前2/3一直在平淡的叙事 一度怕作者最后串不到一起烂尾 但还好后1/3逻辑清晰内容紧凑 所有之前提到的小细节都有照顾到 有几处twist也不错 结尾不算烂尾但真的感到一丝丝莫名其妙哈哈哈 前面有点慢,一些witness testimony感觉没必要写。中间反转的地方很有意思,关于死者父亲那里。 故事虽然是围绕几对夫妻讲的,但是关于婚姻并没有讲很多,故事的发生主要是因为精神病态,还是悬疑的部分多一些。 女主并没有很讨喜,不知道为啥。女主老公总让我带入gone girl里...
评分##TBH,看了1/4是有点儿失望的,写得特别松散,一直都在交代一些支线的细枝末节(希望后期都能串上,欢迎打我的脸) 60%之后开始有点儿意思,但真的有那么点儿牵强。。可惜前面铺垫的那么多但还没有让这个结果变得自然
评分##听了audio,刚开始觉得有点无聊,到后半部分开始喜欢上作者的写作方式,情节也蛮紧凑的。中间那段Amanda跑步被追的情节触发了我巨大的恐惧,一整夜没睡着。。。这种揭露美国中产虚伪的作品越来越多了,漂亮衣橱里全是虱子,一个marriage只要能活下来就是好的吗?
