About this listen

From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten bestseller The Wife Between Us, comes The Golden Couple – a compelling psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple, until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things – both because she loves her husband, and for the sake of their eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist, who lost her licence due to controversial methods.

If Avery Chambers can’t fix you in ten sessions, she won’t take you on as a client. She helps people overcome everything, from anxiety to domineering parents. Her successes almost help her absorb the emptiness she feels since her husband’s death.

When the Bishops glide through Avery’s door, all three are immediately set on a collision course. Because the biggest secrets in the room are still hidden, and it’s no longer simply a marriage that’s in danger.

The Golden Couple is propulsive and thrilling. It grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go. A page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end’ - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

keep you guessing until the very end

(Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and The Six and Malibu Rising)
The Golden Couple is my favorite kind of thriller: a guessing game filled with characters you care about and twists you don't see coming . . . an utterly compelling, spellbinding read (Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Family Upstairs)
A propulsive, twisty, unputdownable thriller – with two heroines you won't be able to get enough of . . . and a twist you'll never see coming (Laura Dave, author of The Last Thing He Told Me)
A riveting cat-and-mouse game of a novel that explores the intricacies of marriage, and the many ways in which people lie to themselves . . . and others. This is a psychological thriller in every sense of the word (Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone)
All stars
Most relevant
The protagonist was a fun character (bolshy), but too many lengthy passages of suburban bleh, mom gushing, etc. Plus not sure why other reviewers praise the narration. The woman doing Avery kept pausing in odd places, and at other times spoke so quickly I had to adjust the speed. The Marisa character was annoying and read in a way to make her more so. In all, 3 out of 5 on everything.

Interesting twist, but a bit twee and so-so narration

Didn’t see that coming!

Kept me listening even though it was slow paced. The characters were interesting enough and well described to make this entertaining. Albeit a bit far fetched.

Intriguing

Wow the twists and turns in this book are amazing. I thought I had it worked out, but as always Greer and Sarah always keep something up their sleeves. If you love a good thriller try all of their books, you won't be disappointed.

Another great book
