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.

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, throwing a wrench into Sam and Annie's happily ever after.

Showcasing Molloy’s deft ability to subvert norms 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.

Misery

This book is Misery with an altered ending. It is an okay book but it’s so unoriginal it’s almost boring. If there was ever a copyright infringement case to be won... this book is it.

Not impressed

I found the characters and story confusing. The main female character sounded “like an old smoker”. The story could have benefitted from more originality instead of copying a well known classic book.

So good!

Took me a minute to understand who was who (reader) but once I did, I was hooked!

An absolute delight!

this book was so un predictable! You thought it was going one way and boom... another! I was so into it I finished in 2 days lol.

Great Until Halfway

The story started out really good, I listened to the first half in about two days, but then all of a sudden I knew exactly how the story would end. Nothing about the 2nd half was really that interesting.
