What happens to woman who
finds out that the husband she married over 20 years ago is not the person she
thought he was. That is what happens to Darcy Anderson in Stephen King’s short
story, A Good Marriage. But can it be true. Can this man, the father of her
children, be a murderer?
From the beginning, King
pulls the reader into the mind of Darcy. From her initial reaction to finding a
box full of secrets to the final fatal decision she makes to save herself and
her children. With a roller coaster of emotions, Darcy faces off with Bob who
somehow figured out that his wife learned his deep dark secret and comes home
early from his business trip. For Bob, it is a relief and he decides to unburden
himself, letting the one person he knows he can trust know every last gruesome detail of
each murder.
King really does know how to
write a short suspenseful story with characters a reader can believe. These two
could be your neighbors or even your relatives. This one was perfect for me to stick
in my earplugs and listen to while I worked. Any Stephen King fan who hasn’t
read or listened to this one yet, should.
