In the tradition of Gone Girl, you can guess that The Perfect Marriage of Sarah and Adam Morgan is not so perfect. Living outside Washington D.C., Sarah is a driven, successful attorney. Adam is a writer who hasn’t published anything for years. In his miasma of despair, he begins an affair with a young woman. When her body turns up murdered, Adam is the prime suspect and Sarah decides to defend him as his attorney. Switching back and forth between Sarah and Adam’s perspectives, we follow the investigation as more evidence is revealed. The plot thickens and we begin to suspect Sarah, her best friend, police officers, and the dead woman’s husband. Entertaining and twisty, The Perfect Marriage is a worthwhile thriller.
