A Successful Marriage

Lizzy's longtime friend is accused of murdering his wife, and only she, as a lawyer, can help him avoid the charges. Succumbing to his pleas, she takes on the case, although she isn't truly convinced of his innocence and hates working with crime. Moreover, Lizzy herself has a couple of dark secrets that the public shouldn't know, and which could surface if she's not careful. The more Lizzy delves into the tangled story of the murder that occurred after a frivolous social party, the more unsettling parallels she draws with her own life. Soon, her reputation, career, and relationship with her husband are at stake. You can't trust anyone or anything, Lizzy has always known this. But time and again, she makes that mistake. «An exhilarating story that unfolds at a dizzying pace». — Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of the bestseller «The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo» «The characters of Kimberly McCreight have seemingly perfect lives, yet their greatest mastery is concealing behind dazzling façades affairs, illicit substances, and personal and financial ruin…» — New York Times Book Review «A delightful story filled with intrigues, betrayals, and murder». — People
