<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"As Long As We Both Shall Live is JoAnn Chaney's wicked, masterful examination of a marriage gone very wrong, a marriage with lots of secrets... "My wife! I think she's dead!" Matt frantically tells park rangers 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 was a tragic accident. But Matt's first wife also died in suspicious circumstances. And when the police pull a body out of the river, they have a lot more questions for Matt. Detectives Loren and Spengler want to know if Matt is a grieving, twice-unlucky husband or a cold-blooded murderer. They 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?

Cain), makes a cutting statement about the plight of even the most feminist wives....There's never a point in which Chaney doesn't have you in the palm of her hand." --<i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p/>"A really satisfying domestic suspense marriage thriller in the Liane Moriarty tradition....A great beach reach." --<b><i>New York Times Book Review </i>podcast</b> <p/><b>"Unputdownable...This novel is anything but predictable. </b>The female characters are forces of nature, and the plot twists are deliciously demented, <b>a la <i>Gone Girl</i> and <i>Big Little Lies</i>."</b><br>--<i>People</i> <p/>"Chaney grabs readers with her opening line: 'If you try to kill your wife without a plan, you will fail.'...<b>Marriage laid bare, with a riveting account of evasion and pursuit--and a zinger of a coda."</b> --<i>Booklist</i>, <b>starred review</b> <p/>"<b>Far more than a typical murder mystery</b>. From the first propulsive line, 'If you try to kill your wife without a plan you will fail, ' to the stunning conclusion, the reader is swept along in a twisting, turning journey that is as much a treatise on marriage as on murder." --<i>Mystery Scene</i> <p/>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. <b>A perfectly paced, shock-studded chiller from an author to watch.</b> <b>--</b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, <b> starred review</b> <p/>"This book is a wicked page-turner, dripping in dark humor, and a hell of a ride you won't realize you are on until it's too late to get off.
