Dexter meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this wildly compulsive debut thriller about a couple whose fifteen-year marriage has finally gotten too interesting...

Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman. We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored.

We look like a normal couple. We're your neighbors, the parents of your kid's friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.

We all have our secrets to keeping a marriage alive.

Ours just happens to be getting away with murder.

Ratings and reviews

Good story. Seemed a bit drug out for a while, but kept your interest. I had an idea of what might be taking place, but doubted it until it happened. Not enough of an ending, in my opinion. It happened too quick. I was really hoping for something more thrilling, but a good story and worthy listen.

Good ending but could have been better without the main character talking in circles for 4 chapters

It's a good book, but I disliked the narrator's female voices. They sounded weird.
