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.

"Newlyweds Sam and Annie are head over heels in love and ready to say goodbye to their home in New York City and start a life together in upstate New York. Unfortunately, Annie spends most of her time alone while her husband, Sam spends much of his time working very long hours is his office tending to his mostly-female clientele. What Sam doesn't know is that through a vent in the ceiling of his office, every word uttered in his sessions can be heard by the owner of the house who lives upstairs. Who could resist listening? This is a psychological thriller with a crazy plot. I was blindsided by the not one, but two huge plot twists and enjoyed the snarky, sarcastic, clever humor of Molloy."
