"It seems like a knife ought to play some part in Matt Marinovich's The Winter Girl , because that's what his story feels like: sharp and delightfully treacherous. It cuts, and then it cuts some more. Marinovich is merciless toward his characters--toward his readers, too. This is one of the leanest, meanest books I've read in a long, long time. I suspect Jim Thompson would've loved it. James M. Cain, too. And Patricia Highsmith. That's how great this book is." --Scott Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan, "It seems like a knife ought to play some part in Matt Marinovich's The Winter Girl , because that's what his story feels like: sharp and delightfully treacherous.

Synopsis
" A marital thriller more scary than Gone Girl." --The Washington Post 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 routine--Elise at the hospital with her father, Scott pretending to work and drinking Victor's booze--only 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.
