For Better and Worse: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner—and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they'll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice . . . you have to get it yourself.
Shocked to discover Nat's taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He's just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat's always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?

September 3, 2018
Criminal defense lawyer Natalie Clarke, the heroine of this page-turner from Hunt (Best Friends Forever), longs for the days when her worst problem was figuring out whether her husband, Will, was cheating. But a possibly straying spouse has slid in priority following the news rocking the previously placid seaside community of Shoreham, Fla.—that police are investigating Robert Gibbons, the principal of the school attended by the couple’s 11-year-old son, Charlie, after a student’s claim of being molested by Gibbons. And even worse, Nat begins to suspect that the accusation against a man she and Will considered a friend is true, and that Charlie might also be a victim. A murderously angry Nat weighs meting out her own form of justice—with or without Will’s help. Some readers will struggle to suspend disbelief, but others will scarcely mind the improbability of Nat’s murderous scheme as the roller-coaster action takes increasingly wild turns. Psychological suspense fans will be satisfied. Agent: Ethan Ellenberg, Ethan Ellenberg Literary.

After planning the perfect murder on their first date decades before--theoretically, of course--a married couple find themselves testing just how foolproof their plan was.Natalie and Will Clarke met in law school and now, years later, are raising a spunky 11-year-old named Charlie in a small seaside Florida town. Will spends his days behind a desk doing real estate law while Natalie is always in court in her capacity as a defense attorney. Their marriage has lost a bit of its spark, and Natalie worries Will may be having an affair, but overall things are good. Tensions rise when the principal of Charlie's school, a former close friend of the Clarkes', is accused of molesting a child. Gossip swirls around town. It only hits home, however, when Charlie confesses to Natalie that he is also a victim. Aware of all the extra trauma and pain that Charlie will have to deal with if he makes an official statement, Natalie makes a decision that will change her family forever: The principal has to die. Hunt (Best Friends Forever, 2018) has concocted another thriller of small-town Florida life gone extra wrong. Each page races forward as the characters contend with different obstacles thrown in their ways, from pills to police to unfortunate phone calls. The narrative switches between Natalie and Will, which, though at first refreshing, gets old two-thirds of the way through since Natalie is the more compelling character. The question of whether they'll get caught or not permeates the book, as each revelation questions whether the Clarkes are still in the clear or if they're even on the same side. The end, when it comes, is unexpected and ominous, as is only proper.A twisty tale for fans of domestic thrillers.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Lawyers Natalie and Will Clarke's picture-perfect life falls apart when allegations of sexual abuse arise at their son's school. At first, the couple is merely speculative, perhaps even a little smug in judging the neighbors engaged in victim-blaming. Then they learn that their son is said to be one of the boys the school principal targeted, and their lives spiral out of control. Natalie is a defense attorney and knows how her son will be picked apart at trial if they come forward with what happened to him, but could she live with herself if their silence allowed this man to prey on other children? Natalie and Will once joked about the perfect crime in law school. Using what she knows about the mistakes her clients make, could Natalie kill the man who stole her son's innocence, and never pay the price? Can she trust Will to keep their secret? Hunt's latest (following Best Friends Forever, 2018) will please fans of psychological thrillers, especially those featuring unhinged, vengeance-seeking women.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
