Publisher's Summary

You can’t be married to someone without sometimes wanting to kill them....

As Long as We Both Shall Live is JoAnn Chaney’s wicked, masterful examination of a marriage gone very wrong, a marriage with lots of secrets....

“My wife! I think she’s dead!” Matt frantically tells park rangers that he and his wife, Marie, were hiking when she fell off a cliff into the raging river below. They start a search, but they aren’t hopeful: No one could have survived that fall. It was a tragic accident.

But Matt’s first wife also died in suspicious circumstances. And when the police pull a body out of the river, they have a lot more questions for Matt.

Detectives Loren and Spengler want to know if Matt is a grieving, twice-unlucky husband or a cold-blooded murderer. They dig into the couple’s lives to see what they can unearth. And they find that love’s got teeth, it’s got claws, and once it hitches you to a person, it’s tough to rip yourself free.

So what happens when you’re done making it work?

What the critics say

“Unputdownable….This novel is anything but predictable. The female characters are forces of nature, and the plot twists are deliciously demented, a la Gone Girl and Big Little Lies.” (People)

Just okay

Too many back stories that were not needed. The second detective and his back story added nothing. I would have rathered know more about Spangler and her story.
As for the many story it took so many twists that it just became in believable.

All that said is was still ok.

An Exciting and Gripping Story

Loved the story ... but the narration droned on with an odd staccato rhythm. There were numerous times where I would lose focus on the story or fall asleep and have to repeat chapters because narration was always the same.

Bad narration

I feel this book was a waste of a credit. The narrator was awful. The story was 'sinister' but she made everything sound sinister and weird, even making a cup of coffee. Really turned off. I'll be returning it.

stupid potty humour

bad narration, bizarrely detailed police potty humour interrupts the story and suspense. lighting farts and dingle berries aren't funny to me. this is like Jersey Shore does psychological thriller. awful. DNF
