If Ashley Winstead’s The Last Housewife were a movie, it might come with some serious warnings. This twisted thriller starts off dark, and just gets darker and darker as a woman who’s built a new life for herself with a wealthy husband confronts appalling events from her college days, and finds herself returning to a web of cultish misogyny during a crusade for justice.

Back in college, Shay and a few of her friends were captivated by an older man, and manipulated by his foul, misogynist take on how the world should be. While she and her friend Laurel managed to escape his cruel clutches, eight years on, Shay hears of Laurel’s death from her favourite crime podcaster, Jamie.

Stirred by the news, Shay leaves her husband back in suburban Texas and embarks on a perilous battle to uncover the truth of Laurel’s death, with Jamie on hand as a fellow investigator. The journey she takes into a cult of predatory wealthy men who abuse women unleashes disturbing emotions and behaviours from her past.

With in-your-face coverage of issues around complicity and conditioning, The Last Housewife sets out to show how far manipulatively abusive men might go for power, and how hard it is to escape past trauma.
