A review by jill_spamp
A Good Marriage by Jessica Hecht, Stephen King
4.0
This was a pretty good book - I liked the premise, and it made me wonder what I would do in her place.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the narrator, though. She didn’t sound like a horrified wife who’s just discovered her husband is this terrible monster, she sounds more like she’s kindly disappointed. I thought that was really odd and didn’t fit the circumstances.
I liked the ending, but in real life, I’d prefer he went to prison. The victims’ family members deserve to know no matter how old they are (thought that was a weird excuse to give in the book).
All in all, good short story. Hope the movie is just as good!
