Book Overview

A Most Anticipated Book by: Crime Reads, Buzzfeed, Popsugar, Bustle, New York Post

From "master of clever misdirection" (Kirkus Reviews) Aimee Molloy, author of the New York Times bestseller The Perfect Mother, comes an irresistible psychological thriller featuring a newly married woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband goes missing.

A handsome psychotherapist. His lonely wife. And in his home office ceiling, a vent ...

You'd listen too, wouldn't you? (You know you would.)

In this gripping small-town thriller, newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are head over heels, and excited to say good-bye to New York City and start a life together in Sam's sleepy hometown upstate. Or, it turns out, a life where Annie spends most of her time alone while Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his downstairs office, tending to the egos of his (mostly female) clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in his ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist's wife, contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn't satisfy her in bed. Who could resist listening? Everything is fine until the French girl in the green mini Cooper shows up, and Sam decides to go to work and not come home, revealing a marriage built on secrets and lies and throwing a wrench into their happily ever after.

Showcasing Molloy's deft ability to subvert norms with a truly unreliable narrator, and culminating in the kind of stunning twist that is becoming her trademark, Goodnight Beautiful is a thrilling tale of domestic suspense that not only questions assumptions but defies expectations.

Customer Reviews

Good but a bit confusing

The story line is good with plot twists here and there, typical cliff hanger chapter ends. It was good writing and well put together but I'm not not sure the way they wrote with each character was the right fit, it made it almost confusing. I know they were going for more of a mysterious route but it made it murky. Over all good book, just maybe not the right fit for everyone.
