THE WINTER GIRL

Matt Marinovich

It's winter time in the Hamptons: everything is quiet, with many of the homes shut for the season, and a couple is staying at the house of the wife's father, who is in the hospital, dying from cancer. The husband is unemployed, struggling to save his marriage, but also strangely obsessed with the house next door. The lights go off at the same time every night so he's convinced no one is there. He checks it out with his wife and they find that something horrible has happened...but not in the way you imagine. By turns eerie, darkly comic and vicious, THE WINTER GIRL plays with the notion of storytelling and how we craft our own versions of the truth.

Matt Marinovich is the author of STRANGE SKIES, a satire comedy. THE WINTER GIRL is his first thriller.

Comments

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 characterstoward 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, bestselling author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
