Three best friends; Penny, Holly, and Lisa. They live in different parts of the UK and don’t get to see each other nearly as often as they’d like, so Penny decides to remedy that and invites Holly and Lisa to her home for the weekend.

They’re having a fabulous time but then the drink loosens their tongues, and they each tell the others about their horrible husband. Lisa’s husband is violent towards her, Holly suspects her husband may have killed someone, and it looks as though Penny’s husband might be cheating on her. They decide that they’re going to do something about those horrible husbands and come up with a plan – to murder them.

We all like a story that suddenly has an “I wasn’t expecting that!” moment, and this one certainly has a very big surprise that I didn’t see coming. Absolutely gripping and will definitely read more by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.

An interesting premise for a story though i thought the ending was a little far fetched.

I generally liked the easy flow of the book which made it easy to read. Three women scorned, what will they do for revenge?

Thanks to net galley and the publishers for this arc

Horrible Husbands is about three friends who hatch a plan to kill their husbands. It left me gasping for breath from the unbelievable twists that just started coming and didn't let up. I got frustrated with how much crap that the women have to deal with from there husbands and I actually screamed with desperation. I enjoyed how much they could rely on each other for support and I liked that the chapters were sharp and short alternative between the three.
