A good marriage

Summary: Lizzie Kitsakis is working late when she gets the call. 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.

    Sarah Zimmerman, Karissa Vacker, and George Newbern combine forces to narrate a thriller that asks what makes a good marriage. The trio delivers the story's three timelines seamlessly, making it more accessible for listeners. Zach is in Rikers for assaulting a police officer after finding his wife, Amanda, dead at the bottom of their stairs. He persuades his friend Lizzie, a corporate lawyer, to take his case. Zimmerman adjusts her pacing and expressive tone to enhance her portrayal of Lizzie. In the second timeline, Vacker joins the story as Amanda, a young woman who is full of awe at the rich world she has lucked into--until her fall down the stairs. Vacker heightens the character's fascination and shock with a tone of youthful introspection. Newbern delivers the court proceedings with a stately tone and steady pacing.

    Never mind the feeble supposed-to-be atmospheric opening music, pay immediate and exacting attention as Sarah Zimmerman takes the Prologue—because already, you've got your first unreliable narrator, with many more to come. Controlled with just-under-the-surface panic, Zimmerman resonates as Lizzie, a former federal prosecutor forced into corporate law to repay a hefty debt not of her own making. Her law school friend Zach has unexpectedly called—from notorious Rikers—where he insists he's been unjustly imprisoned for assaulting an officer (by mistake) after discovering his murdered wife. Karissa Vacker animates the dead woman, her performance consistently nervous and afraid, deftly channeling Amanda, whose heinous past haunts, while her less-than-ideal marriage to Zach only survives because of their young son. George Newbern regularly interrupts, voicing the myriad interstitials throughout, most especially enjoying the Grand Jury testimonies showcasing the divide between solemn attorneys and an impressive roster of disgruntled, frightened, indignant witnesses. As with too many multi-cast performances, characterizations (especially of the supporting cast) are inconsistent between narrators, but the wild ride ahead replete with cyberhacking, drugs, alcohol, and partner-swapping in elite Park Slope will certainly make these 13 hours fly.
