A Good Marriage by Stephen King

A Good Marriage by Stephen King

Darcy is home alone because her husband of twenty-seven years is on a business trip.  Her favorite show starts in mere minutes and the television remote stops working.  She heads into the garage in search of AA batteries and trips over a box.  In it are the catalogs she loves (darn her husband for not giving them to her!) and something disturbing.  She knows she should leave well enough alone but she looks around some more and finds so much more.  Turns out that even after twenty-seven years there are things you don’t know about your spouse, even if you have a good marriage.

A short listen (only three discs!) based on one of the novellas in his 2010 collection Full Dark, No Stars which has been made into a movie.  Looks like the movie will be MUCH different than the book based on the one sentence synopsis I read: could be interesting to compare the two.  A fun but disturbing listen from Uncle Stevie.
