LoveReading Says
“Today is my husband’s funeral, but my grief has been stolen from me by what I’ve just found in the pocket of his shorts. Instead of crying, I am burning with rage.” Tingling with suspense, secrets and an entanglement of messy middle-class lives, Laura Marshall’s My Husband's Killer has the kind of entertaining hook-you-in set-up fans of pacey whodunnits won’t be able to resist.
During a weekend away at luxurious Villa Rosa on the Amalfi Coast, 45-year-old Liz’s husband Andrew vanishes, presumed to have drowned in a tragic accident. Though initially glad to have her “three oldest, dearest friends” close for support, a discovery among Andrew’s possessions sends her into a spin: “All I can think is: which one of you bitches was sleeping with my husband?”
Slipping between “then” and “now” timelines, we witness trouble in paradise during the friends’ fateful Amalfi Coast trip. Stress and tension simmers as champagne and Prosecco pops and fizzes, with a sense of big secrets being suppressed by many of the party.
Meanwhile, back in the present, “how well do you really know anyone?” suspicions escalate in a series of explosive showdowns and revelations. Put simply, My Husband's Killer is an addictive, escapist, binge-read of a book.
