What happens when you're really, truly done making your marriage work? As Long As We Both Shall Live is JoAnn Chaney's wicked, masterful examination of a marriage gone very wrong . . . 'My wife! I think she's dead!' Matt frantically tells park rangers, as he explains that he and his wife, Marie, were hiking when she fell off a cliff into the raging river below. They start a search, but they aren't hopeful: no one could have survived that fall. It's a tragic accident. But when police discover Matt's first wife also died in suspicious circumstances, they have a lot more questions for him. Is Matt a grieving husband, or a cold-blooded killer? Detectives Loren and Spengler dig into the couple's lives to see what they can unearth. And they find that love's got teeth, it's got claws, and once it hitches you to a person, it's tough to rip yourself free. So what happens when you're done making it work? PRAISE FOR AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL LIVE "Chaney grabs readers with her opening line: 'If you try to kill your wife without a plan, you will fail.'... Marriage laid bare, with a riveting account of evasion and pursuit--and a zinger of a coda." Booklist, starred review "Chaney alternates past and present, creating an unbearably urgent narrative, and she has a shockingly firm grasp on the barbs and ennui of long-term marriage. A perfectly paced, shock-studded chiller from an author to watch." Kirkus Reviews, starred review
