It's Always the Husband
eadieburke avatar reviewed on + 1639 more book reviews


Kate, 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 otherâbut can feelings that strong lead to murder? Or will everyone assume, as is often the case, that it's always the husband?
This is a psychological suspense novel. It is a twisty page thriller that kept me reading. It alternates between the time at college and the present time. The characters are not nice and you don't know if you can believe them. It's slow in the beginning but then turns quicker towards the end. I didn't really care about any of the characters and therefore didn't really enjoy the book that much.
