PS my husband and I really enjoy "The Americans" and we rarely agree on TV shows.

To the OP, I think your title is fine. I understood the request. I thought it was a great question! I just wish I had some suggestions and instead have been waiting to see what other people post.
The Expats also was the only book I could think of when I read the original post since it is about a CIA agent living as an expat and housewife in Luxembourg when her husband takes a job there. It also addresses the duplicitous nature of the family / marriage and interactions with others in the community. However, I also had mixed feelings about recommending the book. Hard to describe why. Perhaps because it had more of a subtle, psychological intrigue rather than the typical excitement and action of an espionage thriller. I borrowed it from my local e-library when I read it.
