10 different varieties of Christmas cookies, three dozen each. (Don’t do the math; it’ll only make me seem unhinged). Like every year, finished just under the wire. Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas, if you celebrate, and a most peaceful New Year. Let 2020 be the year all our most wild plans take flight.

Here. It. Is.



At long last, the cover of my new adult thriller A GOOD MARRIAGE! Endless thanks to the brilliant @nicolekidman for revealing the cover so exquisitely. Beyond thrilled and honored to be working with Nicole, @persaari, @blossomfilms and @amazonstudios on the adaptation of A GOOD MARRIAGE.



The book hits shelves, May 5, 2020.



And when it does: Get ready to question EVERYTHING.



“A Good Marriage is a smart, provocative, insightful page-turner. I couldn’t put it down.” —Harlan Coben, author of Run Away



Big Little Lies meets Presumed Innocent in this riveting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia, in which a woman’s brutal murder reveals the perilous compromises some couples make—and the secrets they keep—in order to stay together.



Lizzie Kitsakis is working late when she gets the call. Grueling hours are standard at elite law firms like Young & Crane, but they’d be easier to swallow if Lizzie was there voluntarily. Until recently, she’d been a happily underpaid federal prosecutor. That job and her brilliant, devoted husband Sam—she had everything she’d ever wanted. And then, suddenly, it all fell apart.



No. That’s a lie. It wasn’t sudden, was it? Long ago the cracks in Lizzie’s marriage had started to show. She was just good at averting her eyes.



The last thing Lizzie needs right now is a call from an inmate at Rikers asking for help—even if Zach Grayson is an old friend. But Zach is desperate: his wife, Amanda, has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs in their Brooklyn brownstone. And Zach’s the primary suspect.



As Lizzie is drawn into the dark heart of idyllic Park Slope, she learns that Zach and Amanda weren’t what they seemed—and that their friends, a close-knit group of fellow parents at the exclusive Brooklyn Country Day school, might be protecting troubling secrets of their own. In the end, she’s left wondering not only whether her own marriage can be saved, but what it means to have a good marriage in the first place.

Calling all New York City area folks! Where are you going to be the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (12/3)? Joining me and the fabulous Abby Endler of Crime by the Book at PowerHouse Arena in Brooklyn as we help launch Sara Shepard’s new adult mystery REPUTATION–which is smart, and suspenseful and clever and so insanely timely. Sara is the author of the blockbuster PRETTY LITTLE LIARS among many other books.



Details are below. Come join the fun–we will be spilling the scoop on Sara’s new book, talking writing and mysteries and surely complaining about how we all ate too much.



And if you can’t be there in person be sure to grab REPUTATION when it hits shelves on 12/3. Trust me, you won’t regret it–though you may never look at an email hack in quite the same way! (Never in writing people…never)

Adopting a dog and then getting that dog a matching puffer jacket? That’s as close to perfection as I’m gonna get this year. Thank you @rescuedogsrocknyc, Rocky has already made everything better. #writer #rescuedogsofinstagram #author #dogsofinstagram (at Park Slope, Brooklyn, N.Y.)

Let’s just say I don’t think they will be recruiting me for the Olympics anytime soon. But sometimes done, is way more important than pretty. Actually, most of the time—with running and with writing. If you need me tomorrow, I’ll probably be getting hip replacement surgery. #nycmarathon2019 #teamforkids2019 #author (at Central Park)

New book, new photos. Could not be more thrilled to have my new adult thriller A GOOD MARRIAGE set back in Park Slope—the whole experience has been in so many ways like coming home.



Endless thanks again to the incredible @beowulfsheehan for his kindness and patience.
