Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, despite being as different as three women can be. Kate was beautiful, wild, wealthy, and damaged. Aubrey, on financial aid, came from a broken home, and wanted more than anything to distance herself from her past. And Jenny was a striver—brilliant, ambitious, and determined to succeed. As an unlikely friendship formed, the three of them swore they would always be there for each other.

But twenty years later, one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge, and someone is urging her to jump.

How did it come to this?
Kate married the gorgeous party boy, Aubrey married up, and Jenny married the boy next door. But how can these three women love and hate each other? Can feelings this strong lead to murder? When one of them dies under mysterious circumstances, will everyone assume, as is often the case, that it’s always the husband?

A suspenseful, absorbing novel that examines the complexities of friendship, It’s Always the Husband will keep readers guessing right up to its shocking conclusion.

    Loved how this book was set up. The ending is all in the title so it’s not much of a shocker, still surprising. My only complaint for this book was it being written in third person, I would’ve preferred it to switch perspectives. Overall, good book!
  • Loved It!

    WOW……I rarely leave reviews, but this book had me guessing the whole time. Just when I’d think I had it figured out, the whole situation would take a crazy turn. I was truly surprised and speechless at the end. Great book! I will read more from this author for sure.
  • Wowza!

    The book was fair. A tad long winded, not really a thriller
  • Not great, but pretty good

    Good book. I gave it four stars only because I would have liked an epilogue on the main characters so I could have more closure. Kind of like, “Where are they now?”
