The Golden Couple by Hendricks & Pekkanen

I honestly can't remember who gave this to me.  So, if it was you, I'm sorry for forgetting and sorry for not being a fan!

To be fair, I liked it until the plot twist.  After that, hate.

Marissa and Matthew seemingly have it all: he's a hot shot corporate lawyer and she's a boutique owner on the school PTA.  They have a son, a big house in a DC suburb, and nice cars. 

But, Matthew goes away on business and Marissa has an affair.  Marissa decides to confess, and the couple start seeing Avery, a therapist.  It would seem though Marissa's affair partner is not giving up on her so easily. Avery herself also has a clouded past that threatens.  Strange things happen, perhaps tied together.   

I thought it would tie up neatly, and I would have been satisfied with whom I believed to be behind it all.  Yeah, the plot twist just ruined it.  It all goes lightning speed after the twist as if the authors had a deadline to meet and rushed the end.

So this is a whodunit style novel, and as such I don't want to spoil.  I will say THE DOG LIVES.  As soon as the rescue pittie appeared, I was DREADING if he would be OK, but he really is just comic relief.
