A Most Anticipated Book by: Crime Reads, Buzzfeed, Popsugar, Bustle, New York Post
From "master of clever misdirection" (Kirkus Reviews) Aimee Molloy, author of the New York Times bestseller The Perfect Mother, comes an irresistible psychological thriller featuring a newly married woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband goes missing.
A handsome psychotherapist. His lonely wife. And in his
home office ceiling, a vent ...
You'd listen too, wouldn't you? (You know you would.)
Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are head over heels,
and excited to say good-bye to New York City and start a life together in Sam's
sleepy hometown upstate. Or, it turns out, a life where Annie
spends most of her time alone while Sam, her therapist husband, works long
hours in his downstairs office, tending to the egos of his (mostly female)
clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in his ceiling, every word
of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist's wife,
contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn't satisfy
her in bed. Who could resist listening? Everything is fine until the French
girl in the green mini Cooper shows up, and Sam decides to go to work and not
come home, throwing a wrench into Sam and Annie's happily ever after.
Showcasing Molloy's deft ability to subvert norms and
culminating in the kind of stunning twist that is becoming her
trademark, Goodnight Beautiful is a thrilling tale of domestic
suspense that not only questions assumptions but defies expectations.
