It's Always the Husband

It's Always the HusbandKate, Aubrey, and Jenny. They first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, even though they are as different as three women can be. Twenty years later, one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge . . and someone else is urging her to jump.

How did things come to this?

As the novel cuts back and forth between their college years and their adult years, you see the exact reasons why these women love and hate each other—but can feelings that strong lead to murder? Or will everyone assume, as is often the case, that it’s always the husband?







Wow - this book was an unexpected hit for me!  I went in completely blind, just knowing that it had mixed reviews.  I think that was the best way to do it, because while reading other reviews when I finished, some readers felt disappointed or misdirected from the synopsis.  I, on the other hand, really enjoyed the heck out of this one.  My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was two-fold.  First, it dragged on a bit too much at about the 30-40%.  Secondly, I didn't think bringing the character of Owen into the storyline with Kate, other than to be the sheriff, was necessary.  I thought the writing flowed nicely and it always hooked me to want to read another chapter.  If you are hesitant about this one, I'd encourage you to go in blind and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!
