In Darcy and Jessica’s defense, I like strong female character so this may just be something that grated on me. I found Darcy to sound too frail and too soft for what I guessing her age to be around 50. My only personal grumble is the narration of Jessica Hecht bothered me when she was reading Darcy’s part. It is not a huge commitment and wow… you will find yourself having trouble not finishing it right away so you know. A review I had read on this recently on another blog (I apologize for not remembering where I read it) said this would be a good audio for someone new to audio as it is only 3 cds (3 hours) long. It is hard to find a book that can spook you without gore, and A Good Marriage succeeded in giving me chills, but not grossing me out.Ī Good Marriage is twisted good. I have to say this book was darker than I had anticipated. I though this would be a great time to spend with King. When I was offered this book on audio for review and seen that creepy cool cover *pause here so you can look at it again*…. In fact, the last King book I read was 11-22-63, which if you have read, you know that while it is an excellent read, it does not really feel like a King book.

Now Darcy needs to make some pretty heavy decisions before Bob gets home. Bob,her husband and father to their now adult children has never been nothing but kind and loving… but this… this finding opens up a Pandora’s box on Darcy’s entire life. When she opens the box she is stunned by what she finds and believes that there must be some sort of mistake. While Darcy’s husband Bob is away on a business trip, Darcy comes across a well hidden box under a work table in their garage. A chiller that will go right through to the bones. Just when I think I can not be surprised… I read A Good Marriage by Stephen King.
