It involves a week in an isolated cabin in rural NY and 7 questions to answer. Unbeknownst to Craig, Daisy signs them up, thinking it will be the perfect opportunity to find out if Craig really loves her and to finally tell him about her past.

"Narrator Carlotta Brentan performs fascinating monologues of Daisy and Craig. She captures the rhythm and the cadence of each of their voices and does a fine job of revealing their distinct personalities. As the story unfolds and Daisy and Craig find themselves in physical danger, Brentan's ability to ramp up the tension to an excruciating level will have listeners squirming in their earbuds." - AudioFile Magazine
"A galloping and exhilarating thriller." āLaura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me
From Edgar Award-finalist Adam Sternbergh, an electrifying domestic suspense novel for fans of The Perfect Marriage and Rock Paper Scissors, about a couple who are forced to the ultimate extremes to save their marriageāand themselves.
Seven Days. Seven Questions. Forever Changed.
Daisy and Craigās marriage is in serious trouble. Thatās why Daisy has signed up for The Eden Test, a week-long getaway for couples in need of a fresh start. Yet even as sheās struggling to salvage her marriage, it seems Craig has plans to leave her for another woman. In fact, his bags are already packedālong before he arrives to meet Daisy in this remote cabin in the woods of upstate New York.
At first, their week away is marked by solitude, connection, and natural beautyāand only a few hostile locals. But what Craig doesnāt know is that Daisy, a slyly talented actress, has her own secrets, including a burner phone sheās been using for mysterious texts. Not to mention the Eden Test itself, which poses a searing new question to the couple every day, each more explosive than the last. Their marriage was never perfect, but now the lies and revelations are piling up, as the week becomes much more than they bargained forā¦How far are they willing to go?
Adam Sternbergh brings his wit, originality, and a Hitchcockian sense of dread to this chilling, surprising, and wholly entertaining portrait of a marriage on the brink.

Reviews
"A galloping and exhilarating thriller, The Eden Test is about marriage and deception and it will have you rooting (against all odds) for the couple at its center." āLaura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me
"What makes a successful marriage? That's the question at the heart of this twisty, twisted, and compulsively readable thriller. It's Adam Sternbergh's best novel yetāfull of smart and thoughtful questions about husbands, wives, and the secrets of domestic bliss." āJason Rekulak, author of Hidden Pictures
"An utterly gripping thriller that pulls off a tidy trickāThe Eden Test is about deceit, infidelity, and violence, yet somehow is also a thoughtful story about how to make a happy marriage." āRumaan Alam, National Book Award nominated author of Leave the World Behind
"Adam Sternbergh has quickly become one of my favorite novelists. His books are the perfect combination of high concept/flawless execution. The Eden Test continues his winning streakātwisty, timely, and darkly comic. I loved it." āLaura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Lady in the Lake
"The Eden Test is addictive, fleet and thrillingly (and pointedly) of our moment, leaving you spent and exhilarated, with a lingering and potent frisson at just how close to home itās struck. And with it, Adam Sternbergh proves himself the Ira Levin of our times, dancing from genre to genre while also skillfully intermingling and overturning them. His latest may be his most bravura feat yet." āMegan Abbott, bestselling author of The Turnout
"A perfect recipe for some emotionally heavy suspense." āCrimeReads
