Publisher's Blurb:
Wealthy Washington suburbanites Marissa and Matthew Bishop seem to have it all—until Marissa is unfaithful. Beneath their veneer of perfection is a relationship riven by work and a lack of intimacy. She wants to repair things for the sake of their eight-year-old son and because she loves her husband. Enter Avery Chambers.
Avery is a therapist who lost her professional license. Still, it doesn’t stop her from counseling those in crisis, though they have to adhere to her unorthodox methods. And the Bishops are desperate.
When they glide through Avery’s door and Marissa reveals her infidelity, all three are set on a collision course. Because the biggest secrets in the room are still hidden, and it’s no longer simply a marriage that’s in danger.
The Golden Couple is a compelling tale of many secrets, and not just those of Marissa's. Every character withheld information, causing me to suspect one person before flipping my suspicion to another. The tension is taut, holding my interest from beginning to end. At one point, I was tempted to stay in my parked car, in our garage, to continue listening. I was riveted, eager to learn what lay ahead.
This was my first encounter with Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and I look forward to reading more by this duo. It's always nice when I find a new author(s) with a decent backlist.
Kudos to both audio narrators, as well. I was able to distinguish the voices of each character, and found the male and young child's voices authentic. Marin Ireland is a favorite, but I also enjoyed Karissa Vacker's performance.
Highly recommend, especially if you're in need of a fast-paced read. This would be a great book for a long flight!
