A Good Marriage

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Jessica Hecht

Now a major motion picture, Stephen King's brilliant and terrifying story of a marriage with truly deadly secrets.

Darcy Anderson’s husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his routine business trips when the unsuspecting Darcy looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a hidden box under a worktable and in it she discovers a trove of horrific evidence that her husband is two men—one, the benign father of her children, the other, a raging rapist and murderer. It’s a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends “A Good Marriage.”

This story was originally published in Stephen King’s acclaimed collection, Full Dark, No Stars.

Great story

Would you listen to A Good Marriage again? Why?

I read it previously in Full Dark, No Stars. I would read it again but not this audio version. The narration was worse than horrible. The sing-song fake sounding voice did not match the dark story. She actually sounded like a cartoon character when she spoke as Darcy. I've listened to at least 200 audio books This one was bad, bad, bad. It should be pulled and narrated by someone else, in my opinion.

another good one!

although the narrator could have been better, I loved the book. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors!

Didn't see that coming.

Good book. Not like any other book of Mr. King's. Take a listen. You won't be disappointed

So So

This story was kinda So So. Not a bad story, but not good either.

Excellent Narration!

Jessica Hecht narration of this Stephen King story is by far the best performance I have ever heard. As a 42-year fan of Stephen King novels and short stories, I believe Ms. Hecht, truly, did justice to an excellent King short story.
