A Good Family

A Novel

De: Matt Goldman

Narrado por: Rebecca Gibel

New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winner Matt Goldman’s A Good Family is a gripping, emotional thrill ride about the secrets hidden underneath a picture-perfect neighborhood.

Katie Kuhlmann’s marriage is falling apart. But she has a secure job, her children are healthy, and her house, a new construction in the prestigious Country Club neighborhood of Edina, Minnesota, is beautiful. She can almost ignore the way her husband, Jack, has been acting—constantly checking his phone, not going to work, disappearing from the house only to show up again without explanation.

Tension in the Kuhlmann house only gets worse when Adam “Bagman” Ross, a mutual friend from college, happens to be in the neighborhood and in need of a place to stay. Jack is quick to welcome him into the sanctity of their home, but Jack’s strange behavior only gets worse, and Katie fears their new guest is also harboring a dark secret. As she begins to uncover the truth, she realizes that something is terribly wrong—and she must race to protect her family as danger closes in.

Such a great read!

Awesome story, awesome narrator! The main character pissed me off at times, but it’s overall a good book!

interesting plot

Narrator's voice was grating. It sounded computer-generated and ruined the listening experience for me.

A great story about a good family

I’ve always enjoyed Matt Goldmans novels, and this one was no exception. It seemed to start slow and there was a point that I was ready to quit. But somewhere near that midpoint it picked up with the addition of new characters and plot twists.
I hope you find this novel as enjoyable as I did.

Intriguing

Story was awesome and am a huge fan of Mr goldmans work tho I do struggle sometimes with female characters written by men I thought sometimes Katie’s reactions weren’t very spot on. I didn’t mind the narrator although I do not understand how there isn’t a better review of how many of our MN cities were pronounced especially E-dine-a where the story was centered I mean c’mon it is not A -deena but I did truthfully enjoy it despite those two things would recommend

Good story, awful narration

Story was good. Love the author! Narration was awful. I almost had to stop halfway through bc of it.

Pronunciation!

Please learn how to pronounce names of cities if you’re going to be a narrator. Bring back Nils!

Give it a minute

i will admit the start of this book did not grab me, and the narrator took a minute to get used to her voice. But if you stick with it, it will start to unfold. The jumping back and forth from past to preent sometimes was interesting to keep up with, but the overall plot of the story and trying to figure out who is involved how was great. Loved the interesting plot twist at the end.

It is worth a read/listen

Couldn’t put it down!

This book was the best from the narration to the storyline it was absolutely wonderful!

Slow paced plotting with a tortured climax

It is fun to read a book that is set in our neighborhood. However the author did a better job of pacing, plotting and characterization in his previous books. The main character’s husband Jack is especially two dimensional.

The narrator was just okay. I’m glad she went back and dubbed in the corrected pronunciation of “Edina”, however “Roseau” is still mispronounced

Matt Goldman tells a good story as usual

Matt Goldman tells a good story as usual, but he deserves a better narrator than this.
