A Good Family

Praise for Matt Goldman

“First-class…The often amusing dialogue flows naturally, the emotional undercurrents ring true, and the mystery itself offers a full complement of suspects and motives. This novel about love, loss, and family ties isn’t to be missed.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review), on Carolina Moonset

“Goldman has an unerring ear for snappy dialogue and a poet’s eye for the beauty of nature. This is a compelling story of how the past is never truly the past, and how we make sense of the gifts that are offered us in every present moment. I loved this book.”―William Kent Krueger, on Carolina Moonset

“A writer to watch.” ―Harlan Coben

“A perfect blend of light touch and dark story.” ―Lee Child on Gone to Dust

“Goldman seasons the complicated puzzle with healthy doses of dry wit and meaningful secondary stories for his characters. ” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The Shallows

“Goldman ramps up the suspense…[a] well-constructed plot that leads to a surprising, “oh my goodness” moment that makes perfect sense.” ―South Florida Sun Sentinel, on A Good Family
