Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for my copy in exchange for a review!
This had some interesting twists in it! I loved the crass voice that the author uses. A complicated story about husband and wives and what they’ll do when they’ve been wronged.

What a mind-blowing pageturner! Marie and Mark are the prototype for dysfunctional. Their marriage problems run deep and they all come to the surface when Marie disappears during a hike and is presumed dead.
The author does a brilliant job of keeping the reader guessing, myself included. Every time I thought I had it all figured out, there was a plot twist that left me with my mouth wide open. The ending completely blew my mind The characters have depth and are well developed. You don't know who to root for because their back stories are so complicated. I can't wait to read more from this author.
Thank you to Flatiron for the ARC and chance to provide an honest review.

“And maybe that was love. The body’s chemical reaction to finding a person who irritates you less than everyone else.”
What a fun and darkly humorous book! It had me laughing and kept me guessing throughout. I highly recommend the audiobook.

fast-paced
I will have to admit, after the first half of the book I thought, is this all there is? I was lulled into the story until it took two other major turns before it was over. Very well done and quite enjoyable. Best book I have read so far this year. Great mystery.
An enjoyable dark novel.... I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Gone Girl.
3.5 Stars. Fun domestic thriller featuring two dead wives, with a side story involving a deranged cop and his history. I would have liked more of the two detectives characters fleshed out - I found them very interesting.
Really enjoyed this one, burned through it in just a few short days. Although I completely guessed the plot twist (and it's very reminiscent of Gone Girl / Nick and Crazy Amy) just before the halfway mark, I didn't care. And that's because I really loved the structure of how this one was told - especially in the beginning. I loved the 3 detective characters - Abraham Reid for the 1995 parts and Spengler and Loren in the 2018 parts.
Spengler's character is great at pointing out the misogyny and sexism in her job as a homicide detective in a male-dominated field. And while, yes, I figured out the plot early on, I still completely enjoyed watching it all unfold.
Another successful book club book! But I think we're going to need to find a different style for our next choice. As Long As We Both Shall Live has now meant we've read two thriller kinds of books (the other was also very successful - [b:The Last Mrs. Parrish|36039837|The Last Mrs. Parrish|Liv Constantine|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1528028359s/36039837.jpg|55049770] - and I think if we stay in this lane we'll grow too fatigued with this style. So the challenge is on to find another great book club pick, but from a different genre. ??
