Thriller | Suspense
At the high-octane Iowa Writers' Workshop, small-town
Charlotte is thrilled and confounded by her relationship
with charismatic and sophisticated Esmé: One moment, Esmé
appears to be Charlotte's most intimate friend; the next,
her rival. After a tumultuous weekend, Charlotte's
insecurities and her resentment toward Esmé reach a fever
pitch. Blindly, Charlotte strikes out-in an act of betrayal
that ultimately unleashes a cascade of calamities on her own
head.
Twenty years later, Charlotte is a successful
novelist. A much-changed Esmé appears, bringing the past
that Charlotte grieved over, and believed buried, to the
doorstep of Charlotte and her beloved husband. Charlotte
finds herself both frightened and charmed. Though she yearns
to redeem the old friendship and her transgression, she is
wary-and rightly so.
As Good As Dead performs
an exquisitely tuned psychological high-wire act as it
explores the dangers that lie in wait when trust is poisoned
by secrets and fears.
