![]() Sam awakens with two broken legs in the home of someone he knows well (I will leave that name to your imagination). However, that would not make for a very entertaining psychological thriller so Aimee Molloy has other plans. If this were a true story, it would have been obvious to any shrewd reporter or police investigator that Sam got in over his head financially and just took off. The wheels come off when he goes to his local bank branch to learn there is only $274.18 in the account for him. This is especially obvious when he seems to be banking everything on the two million dollars he plans to inherit from his father. It becomes evident that there may be some financial problems he is keeping from everyone, including Annie. Statler has set up his office in a local mansion of a home and has begun seeing new patients. To keep their relationship fresh, Sam and Annie utilize various forms of sexual role play and early on in the novel, it will catch the reader off guard until you realize it is just one of their games. Even though she is leaving all she has to her only son, she still thinks he is a shifty womanizer just like his father was and that it is a matter of time before he ruins Annie’s life. It’s bad when his own mother has no faith in him, but that is the case with Sam’s mom who is ill in a local nursing home. ![]() Sam and Annie had not known each other a terribly long time and now with Annie being on Sam’s old turf, she will begin to learn more about the man she married. ![]() Sam Statler has relocated with his new wife, Annie Potter, to his sleepy upstate New York town from New York City. It’s one of those novels where you just know you are not getting the full picture and at any moment the entire narrative can shift on you. Molloy has the misdirection tool firmly in use with her second release, Goodnight Beautiful. Author Aimee Molloy has already been referred to as ‘a master of clever misdirection’-and that was just from her debut novel, The Perfect Mother, which has already been optioned for a feature film starring Kerry Washington.
