Review:
I'm betting there's at least one "golden couple" in everyone's life. You know...the perfect couple who has it all - beauty, money, big house, expensive cars - living the dream. Meet Marisa and Matthew Bishop aka the Golden Couple and their eight year old son Bennett. Bright, beautiful, perfect. So why do they seek out the help of unorthodox therapist Avery Chambers whose license was revoked?
Marissa and Matthew Bishop are a beautiful couple whose marriage is perfect in public but privately in deep trouble. Marissa had a one night stand with a guy she refuses to name, and she seeks Avery's help in revealing the infidelity to Matthew and convincing him to give their marriage a second chance. Sharp, intelligent and snarky Avery is intrigued by the Bishop's both as a couple and individually so she agrees to apply her famous ten step treatment plan to their marriage on the condition they open their lives and home to her and do everything she tells them - when she tells them. As the story unfolds, readers learn there's way more than meets the eye to all three of these characters as the lies, dark secrets and malicious threats begin to pile up.
Through Avery and Marissa's points of view, readers are privy to the present and past history of the main characters and how it leads to a connection between Avery and this couple. It quickly becomes obvious that things don't add up. Someone is not who they present themselves to be, but who and why? The plot line is an extremely convoluted, multilayered, twisted masterpiece. The multiple support characters are all viable red herrings in the big question of "who is the villain" in this story and what's really going on. I found myself constantly changing my mind over who the culprit was and what the real endgame was. One thing's for sure - by the big reveal, the golden couple's golden glow has dimmed considerably and their relationship is in dire danger. Can their marriage be salvaged?
The Golden Couple is a gritty, character driven thriller with a multitude of players any of who could be the villain. Someone is trying to destroy the Bishops marriage, and Avery is determined to unearth all the hidden secrets to expose the truth. But will anyone survive the truth? The Golden Couple unfolds layer by layer with new revelations exploding off the page with each new layer. Fans of mystery and suspense will enjoy this story. I also recommend it to fans of domestic thrillers.
