Description
Sarah Morgan runs Washington’s courtrooms like a storm. Her husband, Adam, runs to a lake house to write—and to a barista named Kelly to feel noticed again. When Kelly is found butchered in Sarah and Adam’s bed, the cops drag Adam in. Sarah does the unthinkable: she defends him. Between a bullying partner, an eerily devoted assistant, a hot-and-cold sheriff, and a very public trial, Sarah tries to build reasonable doubt from a life that was never reasonable. In the alternating voices of wife and husband, The Perfect Marriage peels back a glossy relationship to the bone: the compromises, the resentments, the people we invite into our lives, and the ones who slip in through the side door. The truth hides where love and ambition collide—and its timing is lethal.
