A Happy Marriage

Synopsis

Los Angeles homicide detective Dinah Marino has a complicated family and an uncomplicated marriage. Her husband Joe, a psychiatrist, is the safe part of her life. Ten years in, she is still keeping one secret from him, and she means to keep it.

When a woman connected to Dinah's current case is admitted to Joe's hospital, confidentiality puts a wall through their house. Dinah has ruled Reese Bishop's death a suicide; the trainee assigned to her that day disagrees, and Bishop's college-age daughter is missing.

A. R. Torre writes psychological suspense that works by increments — two people who love each other, each editing what they say, until the lies between them are load-bearing.
