The Golden Couple by Greer Hendriks and Sarah Pekkanen

 

When Marissa Bishop comes to counselor Avery Chambers, she says she and her husband Matthew need marital counseling.  The Bishops are an attractive, wealthy couple with one son who have been together since their teenage years.  But at the first session, Marissa blows everything Avery had planned out the window when she confesses that she has been unfaithful.

Matthew is stunned but ultimately agrees that he is willing to work on their marriage.  Marissa says that he had become so remote that she strayed in her loneliness.  Avery finds that both Marissa and Matthew are hiding secrets and being less than honest with each other.  Marissa's partner in adultery has no plans to give her up and is waging a campaign behind the scenes to get her to leave Matt and be with him.   Can this marriage be saved?

These two authors have worked together before to write thrillers.  This one has interesting characters and lots of red herrings before everything is brought into the light.  I listened to this one and the narrators did a great job, especially with Marissa's soft, beguiling voice.  The story is told in alternating chapters by Avery and Marissa and the climax is satisfying.  This book is recommended for mystery readers.
