Synopsis

For fans of Jodi Picoult comes an enthralling domestic thriller about the lies we tell, and let ourselves believe, in the name of love. The first thing you should know is that everyone lies. The second thing is that it matters. How well do we know our children? Natalie Falcone would say she knows her daughter, Arden, very well. Despite the challenges of running a restaurant and raising six-year-old twin boys, she’s not too worried as she sends her daughter off to college—until she gets the call that Arden’s been in a terrible fire, along with her best friend and cousin, Rory. Both girls are critically injured and another student has died. The police suspect arson. Arden and Rory have always been close, but they have secrets they’ve never shared, secrets that reel all the way back to their childhoods, and which led them to that tragic night. Who set the fire, and why? As the police dig deep into both the present and the past, Natalie realizes that in order to protect her daughter, she’ll first have to find out who Arden really is, even if it means risking everything—and everyone—she loves most. “Each chapter reveals a tantalizing new detail that further complicates the cousins’ bond. … Buckley’s characters are well-developed and interesting.”—Publishers Weekly

3 1/4 stars. The Good Goodbye was a bit more than three stars but not quite enough to round up to 4 stars. Arden and Rory are cousins, who start university together and share a dorm room. They are caught in a fire in their dorm room, and both remain unconscious, unable to explain what happened, in t......more

4.5 stars My first book by Carla Buckley and I’m left wondering why I’ve never picked up a book of hers before. The Good Goodbye was a pleasant surprise - a domestic thriller full of tension and suspense. It actually reminded me of one of my favorite books, The Dinner by: Herman Koch, although th......more

Natalie Falcone and her brother-in-law, Vince, are the co-owners of a restaurant in the Washington DC area and they've hit a rough patch financially.
