About This Audiobook
A Happy Marriage follows Los Angeles detective Dinah Marino and her psychiatrist husband Joe, a couple whose loving decade together rests on secrets both have kept from the other. When a missing woman connected to Dinah's latest case ends up at Joe's hospital, the doctor-patient confidentiality wall between them strains against a deepening conspiracy that implicates the marriage itself.
The three-narrator production featuring Paige Reisenfeld, Charlotte Lobdell, and Jonathan Davis reflects the novel's dual-perspective structure, with the husband and wife perspectives given distinct voices that track the deterioration of trust in real time. The thriller's strength lies in how Torre makes both characters simultaneously sympathetic and opaque, and the narrators maintain that ambiguity without forcing judgment on either side.
