A review by emthewordenthusiast
The Golden Couple by Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks

4.0

Part thriller, part mystery, this book, which is written by two authors, follows the journey of wealthy Washington suburbanites, Marissa and Matthew Bishop, who hire Avery Chambers, a therapist who has lost her professional license due to her unconventional methods, to help them repair their marriage for the sake of their 8 year old son and the lavish life and reputation they’ve built together. As the book progresses however, the meetings which are intended to stitch their marriage back together, instead begin to unravel a web of lies and deceit from each of the people involved in the Bishop’s lives, which will keep you guessing from beginning to end.

It can be hard to find well written thrillers that aren’t loaded with gore, filthy language or sexual immorality and although this book is definitely meant for adult audiences, the contents weren’t graphic, which I definitely appreciated. To be able to craft a story that is both haunting and captivating, without being explicit, speaks to the creative talent of these writers.

I consumed The Golden Couple in just a couple days! (and late nights)
