Description
A private nurse. A mysterious patient. A dangerous secret.
Every week, Eleanor commutes from her house in the countryside into Washington, D.C. to visit her wealthy, powerful patients. On a warm spring morning, an officer from a shadowy security agency approaches her along the riverbank and orders her to inform on one of them, a foreign service officer named Anna.
Eleanor faces an impossible choice: will she destroy another woman’s life, or her own? Anna is suspected of hiding a shocking secret, but she appears warm and trustworthy. Despite all Eleanor is risking, an unlikely friendship starts to form—and when she learns that her assignment is even more sinister than it seemed, their fates become dangerously entwined. Can Eleanor unravel the government’s plans before it’s too late?
A masterly new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of four acclaimed novels including the Reese’s Book Club pick Northern Spy, A Good Man on a Dark Night is both a riveting page-turner and a rich exploration of womanhood, friendship, and love in an era that threatens all three.

I love a psychological thriller. I want to be strapped into my chair in the first chapter, ready for the twists and turns. I like when the author pulls me into the story as if I was one of her characters. This story did not disappoint me. Loved it!
DAVID J, Reviewer
Flynn Berry has crafted a very fast paced and fun political esque thriller. I have never read any of her work so I was pleasantly surprised. A super fun and very quick read!
I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Good Man on a Dark Night — another high quality novel by author Flynn Berry. I liked Northern Spy and I REALLY loved A Double Life. Berry manages to weave life’s mundanities with stressful, high-stakes situations that are so tense and gripping that you have no choice but to keep reading. Let me tell you that I was STRESSINGGG towards the end of the book. I’m seeing some criticism on the ending but I thought everything wrapped up fairly nicely. If you’re in the market for a quick espionage read, where any of the characters could easily be the bad guy, this may be for you.
Thank you NetGalley, Viking Penguin and Flynn Berry for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

An intense, fast-paced thriller that had me hooked from the very first chapter. The twists were expertly crafted, and I never saw the ending coming. A must-read!
Kelly C, Reviewer
Goverment Spy thriller takes place in Washintgon D.C. with a private nurse spying on one of her patients, suspected of espionage, only to uncover a deadly conspiracy that reaches far beyond anything she imagined. With loyalties shifting and danger closing in, she must risk everything.
This book had me completely hooked. I was constantly questioning who could be trusted and felt the tension with every chapter. I was deeply invested in Eleanor's impossible choices, and the emotional depth paired with the gripping suspense kept me racing through the pages.
Thank you Netgalley and Viking Penguin for the Book.
