The Winter Girl
The Winter Girl: A Novel | Matt Marinovich
10 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
A scathing and exhilarating thriller that begins with a husband's obsession with the seemingly vacant house next door. It's wintertime in the Hamptons, where Scott and his wife, Elise, have come to be with her terminally ill father, Victor, to await the inevitable. As weeks turn to months, their daily routineElise at the hospital with her father, Scott pretending to work and drinking Victor's boozeonly highlights their growing resentment and dissatisfaction with the usual litany of unhappy marriages: work, love, passion, each other. But then Scott notices something simple, even innocuous. Every night at precisely eleven, the lights in the neighbor's bedroom turn off. It's clearly a timer . . .but in the dead of winter with no one else around, there's something about that light he can't let go of. So one day while Elise is at the hospital, he breaks in. And he feels a jolt of excitement he hasn't felt in a long time. Soon, it's not hard to enlist his wife as a partner in crime and see if they can't restart the passion. Their one simple transgression quickly sends husband and wife down a deliriously wicked spiral of bad decisions, infidelities, escalating violence, and absolutely shocking revelations. Matt Marinovich makes a strong statement with this novel. The Winter Girl is the psychological thriller done to absolute perfection. From the Hardcover edition.

Fast paced right from the start. It is dark at times but keeps hold of you until the last page.

Mehso-so

Started out well, with a very Gillian Flynn feel to it. Then it went to all kinds of effed up. It was short and condensed, which I appreciated. I'm not sure how I felt about it by the end, to be honest. I think I liked it but I didn't? Do you ever finish a book with that feeling?

minkyb Yes. And it was never that big a deal until I wanted to rate it and found myself thinking so-so instead of pick! 8y
B.Reader What a sweet pooch! 8y
charl08 Wonderful picture - shame about the book, though. 8y

Winter came a little earlier than planned - my mini studio isn't quite ready for it. We're adding a fireplace and custom bench/day bed but I wish I had a space heater so I could at least curl up and read in it on this snowy day! Coffee and a book in the living room instead.

mrsh62010 Looks adorable and so cozy! Sorry you can't enjoy it today :/ 8y
brilliantglow What a lovely studio! It would be perfect for today, if the fireplace had been installed. 8y

DogMomIrene 🙋🏽This is like a teaser trailer, right? Please tell me you're going to share photos of the inside too.💜 8y
Jenshootsweddings @ocdIrene when it's done I will! Or when it's warm inside, at least 😉 8y
DogMomIrene Yay! I know it's a studio, but I have always loved anything mini, so the tiny house movement fascinates me. I love seeing how different people use space! 8y
Gleefulreader That is just incredible! 8y

Yesterday I was in sunny warm Naples, FL ... today I'm back home with snow flurries. Hmph. However, I was driving the back roads to drop something off for a client and came across a super cute #indiebookstore with this sign out front! How could I not go in?! The owner recommended something so I obviously didn't leave empty handed, and I'll definitely go back. #getindie
