Grueling hours are standard at elite law firms like Young & Crane, but they'd be easier to swallow if Lizzie was there voluntarily. Until recently, she'd been a happily underpaid federal prosecutor. That job and her brilliant, devoted husband Sam--she had everything she'd ever wanted. And then, suddenly, it all fell apart. No. That's a lie. It wasn't sudden, was it? Long ago the cracks in Lizzie's marriage had started to show. She was just good at averting her eyes. The last thing Lizzie needs right now is a call from an inmate at Rikers asking for help--even if Zach Grayson is an old friend. But Zach is desperate: his wife, Amanda, has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs in their Brooklyn brownstone. And Zach's the primary suspect. As Lizzie is drawn into the dark heart of idyllic Park Slope, she learns that Zach and Amanda weren't what they seemed--and that their friends, a close-knit group of fellow parents at the exclusive Brooklyn Country Day school, might be protecting troubling secrets of their own. In the end, she's left wondering not only whether her own marriage can be saved, but what it means to have a good marriage in the first place.

New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight delivers a tour de force of character-driven suspense: the story of two women whose secrets and desires entrap them in a deadly love triangle. You had to rely on the power of love. That he loved you enough not to do the thing that would break your heart. It was paper-thin ice on which to stake your survival. Gretchen Falk, a Park Avenue sophisticate born into great wealth and blessed with a storybook marriage, knows she lives a charmed life, and she's not about to risk losing any part of it. That's why she tried to convince Richard, her devoted husband and father to their three children, not to join his old college friends on an expedition almost eight thousand miles away, to the imposing peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Little did she know that the beautiful artist climbing alongside him might prove the far greater danger. Frankie Callahan's dream of artistic success is within reach, with her career-making exhibition at a celebrated New York gallery only weeks away. If all goes well, the show will leave her financially independent, free of the tainted money that ties her to a past--and a man--she's desperate to escape. To mark the end of this chapter, she is going to climb Kilimanjaro. But when she learns she's the sole female accompanying a group of male friends, Frankie realizes that nothing about the trip will be as she expected. She certainly hasn't counted on meeting anyone like the very charismatic, very rich, very married Richard Falk. By the time the group descends--with one fewer than when they began--they have lost more than they ever could have imagined. Now, just two weeks after returning to New York, Frankie is dead, her East Village loft a blood-soaked crime scene. When Richard is charged in Frankie's death, it falls to Gretchen to piece together how the life she so carefully constructed could have imploded so completely. There are only two things Gretchen knows for sure: she's the only woman Richard has ever loved, and he would never hurt anyone. Someone Else's Husband is the sweeping and suspenseful story of two women on a collision course with love--and with each other--in which no one is right and everyone is very, very wrong.

Washington Posti sõnutsi "vastupandamatu draama" hädaohtlikest kompromissidest ja saladustest, mida mõned paarid abielu nimel teevad.Lizzie Kitsakis on õhtul hilja tööl, kui talle helistatakse. Kurnavalt pikad tööpäevad on tavapärased advokaadibüroode koorekihti kuuluvas Young & Crane'is, aga neid oleks kergem taluda, kui Lizzie töötaks seal vabatahtlikult. Alles hiljuti oli ta õnnelik, ehkki alamakstud prokurör. Talle meeldis tema töö ja tal oli suurepärane pühendunud abikaasa Sam - tal oli kõik, mida ta tahtis. Ja siis lagunes tema elu ootamatult koost.Ei. See on vale. See polnud sugugi ootamatu. Mõrad hakkasid Lizzie abielus ilmnema juba hulk aega tagasi. Ta oskas lihtsalt hästi silma kinni pigistada.Viimane, mida Lizziel praegu vaja, on kõne Rikersi vangilt, kes palub abi - see ei loe, et Zach Grayson on tema vana sõber. Aga Zach on meeleheitel: tema naine Amanda leiti nende Brooklyni kodus trepijalamilt surnuna. Ja Zach on peamine kahtlusalune.Kui Lizzie tõmmatakse otse idüllilise Park Slope'i musta südamesse, saab ta teada, et Zack ja Amanda polnudki need, kes näisid olevat, ning et nende sõbrad - tihedalt seotud rühm Brooklyn Country Day erakooli lapsevanemaid - varjasid oma häirivaid saladusi. Lõpuks peab Lizzie mõtlema nii seda, kas tema abielu saab veel päästa, kui ka seda, mida üldse tähendab täiuslik abielu.Kimberly McCreight on kirjutanud Edgari, Anthony ja Alexi auhinnale nomineeritud "Reconstructing Amelia". Eesti keeles on temalt varem ilmunud "Koht, kust ta leiti". Ta õppis Vassar College'is ja lõpetas cum laude Pennsylvania Ülikooli õigusteaduskonna.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thrilling novel of emotional suspense that questions the damaging fictions we cling to and the hard truths we avoid. Above all, it's a love story between a mother and a daughter, each determined to save the other before it's too late.

Fra New York Times bestselgerforfatter Kimberly McCreight kommer en spennende og rå thriller der en vennegjeng samles 10 år etter at de var ferdig på universitetet. Det blir en gjenforening preget av løgner, svik og drap.Alle har slike venner. Det spiller ingen rolle hvor lang tid det har gått, hvor ille de har oppført seg fra tid til annen, eller hvor sent på kvelden de ringer. Du stiller opp. Uansett.Det var slik vi fem endte opp her i skogen. Vi hadde de beste intensjoner. Spesielt etter det som skjedde med Alice for mange år siden, og vi orker ikke å tanken på å miste flere. Vi vil gjøre absolutt alt for å unngå at det skjer. Mye mer enn vi trodde.Til slutt var det kanskje det som ødela for oss. Det, og at vi er en gjeng med så mye felles historie og hemmeligheter som plutselig og fryktelig ubeleilig kan komme for en dag. Selvfølgelig elsker vi hverandre til tross for alle disse tingene. Vi elsker hverandre uansett.Det er noe veldig vakkert ved denne typen ubetinget vennskap. Det kan imidlertid bli stygt. Eller kanskje det bare er oss. Tross alt har vi allerede vært gjennom så mye sammen. Og vi har så mye å skjule.
