“Utterly hypnotizing ... I was left in awe of Buckley s powers of storytelling, of the way she lays clues with deftness and care, luring the reader down a cataclysmic and at times evasive trail of lies, family secrets, and teenage betrayal, leading to a perfectly satisfying finale. The Good Goodbye is incredible!”
— Mary Kubica, internationally bestselling author of The Good Girl
“Twisty and beguiling, Carla Buckley s The Good Goodbye shudders with revelations from its first pages. As suspense, it ensnares you, and as an emotionally rich novel about the formidable and fraught bonds of family, it will have you holding your breath until its final, moving paragraphs.”
— Megan Abbott, author of The Fever
“Relentlessly suspenseful and instantly riveting, this heartbreaking page-turner probes the darkest secrets a family tries to protect. Complex, sinister and beautifully written, Carla Buckley s powerful story will make you stop, listen, and hug your children.”
— Hank Phillippi Ryan, winner of the Agatha, Anthony, and Mary Higgins Clark awards
“Cousins as close as sisters, a mysterious fire, a tangled web of lies: It all adds up to a fluid, suspenseful story that keeps you turning the pages to find out what happened and what will happen next. I devoured this novel.”
— Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train
“In Carla Buckley s finest novel yet, the aftermath of a tragedy leaches long-hidden secrets into a family s vigil, revealing the hazy outlines of sin, debt, and desire. The Good Goodbye is provocative, riveting, wrenching.”
— Sophie Littlefield, author of The Missing Place
“Elegant and emotional, deeply affecting ... Carla Buckley has done it again, writing an exquisitely troubling, psychologically complex novel that grabs the reader on page one and never lets go.”
— Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Language of Sisters
