The Golden Couple

Product Information

This story is not your typical mystery. There’s no dead body or traditional crime to solve. But that doesn’t make it any less suspenseful. I need to write a book where Karens g Dual narrators leave you as sorry to say goodbye to one’s point of view as you are desperate to say hello to the other’s.. the next Gone Girl .” I haven’t even rated a single book by them as a five-star book. But I still love them. I like their writing style, and there is a minimum guarantee that I will have a good time reading their books even before starting them, whatever the plot may be. I am sure I will see a five-star book by these authors soon in the future when they will get a perfect story suiting their writing style.

I enjoyed my time learning about all of these characters. They were all interesting and provided plenty of drama to keep my head spinning. When she is approached by the "Golden Couple," Marissa and Mathew Bishop, she knows she can help them. Marissa cheated but wants to work on her marriage, it was a mistake, and she will do whatever it takes to make things right. There are secrets in this marriage. Secrets have a way of coming out. Session one is only the beginning.... There are a lot of ancillary characters in this book, a few of which I felt weren’t really necessary to the plot. Perhaps the author chose to add them to add to the readers confusion as to who was really doing what in this novel. Avery opens the door and Marissa and Mathew Bishop walks in. She starts the session the way she always does and asks the 'What brings you here tonight. She then takes three of the plastic cups out of her water cooler and fills each with a generous shot of tequila.The couple has one child, Bennett aged 8 whom they cherish. Matthew is a workaholic and doesn’t really spend much time with Bennett. The day to day care of the house and Bennett are left up to Marissa. Marissa has a shop in the city that keeps her busy during the hours when she is not at home. She has a unique style and her shop has done very well, enough that she has hired an assistant, Polly, who works hours when Marissa can’t be there. Here it comes, The Confession. Marissa starts the confession and says to Matthew "I slept with someone , just once. This book features Marissa and Mathew Bishop, a married couple who has come to see counselor Avery Chambers. Avery's unorthodox methods are known for getting results, but they aren't always aboveboard or appreciated. The crux of the problem is that Marissa has cheated on Mathew, and she wants to bring her infidelity into the open so that they can try to heal their marriage and move forward. But certain things make it seem as if the man she slept with won't let go so easily. I think this is a good domestic thriller and can recommend it to those who enjoy a strongly character driven novel. The book moves at a fast pace and there’s lots going on. In fact, it made me realize how quiet and stable my life is. These two ladies have issues in spades.

I enjoy this writing duo's style very much. The premise is intriguing. A "Golden Couple" who seemingly have it all seek out therapy because of infidelity. The therapist has a very unconventional approach that involves 10 specified sessions.Avery has taken a break from being a normal therapist. Well, actually, she's been invited to take a PERMANENT break...she's lost her license. Why? Her methods are...well, a bit UNUSUAL, to put it mildly. Her 10-step system is guaranteed to get results...but only if her clients are brutally honest (and don't notice her spying on them from the corner of the restaurant...among other things.) First off, I am BEYOND happy I gave this writing duo another shot, and I can't stress that enough. I had VERY strong feelings about The Wife Between Us, and they were not positive feelings. I remember almost tossing my e-reader in frustration at the time because things were so OTT in that book, at least for me, and I was pretty sure they weren't the writers for me.
