Liz, her husband Andrew, and their friends spend the weekend at the Amalfi Coast. By the end of the weekend Andrew is dead.
On the day of the funeral Liz discovers Andrew was having an affair, but the only suspects are the women they went on holiday with, Liz’s closest friends.
As more and more secrets begin to unravel, the question begs, was Andrew’s death really an accident?
My Husband’s Killer is fast-paced psychological thriller which is full of twists and turns. The plot is gripping and the author has a way of writing which keeps you hooked right through to the end. As soon as I saw that this book was written by Laura Marshall, I had no doubt that I would love it and I can confirm that theory was tested and proven once again.
In terms of characters, what I particularly loved about them was the fact that they had known each other a long time (since university). I felt that this added so much depth to each of them. Despite them not all being likeable it was interesting to uncover so many layers which had built up over the years and made them appear very credible.
Themes in the book included but were not limited to, friendship, love, power, class, widowhood, and grief. Some of the grief related quotes in the book really touched me and felt very authentic. It was only at the end of the book that I realised Laura Marshall herself was widowed young and she admitted to reflecting on some of her own experiences in the book. This came through sincerely.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I thought I had uncovered all the secrets there was more to uncover, when I thought I understood the twist it twisted again. My Husband’s Killer is a truly compelling read.
