‘Pulls you in and doesn’t let you go. I loved it!’
Shari Lapena
‘A page-turning whodunit – will speak to anyone who’s had a frenemy.’
Ruth Ware
‘Secrets and scandals. . . what could be more riveting?’
Tess Gerritsen
‘A skilful and addictive story of friendship, betrayal and ultimately love, It’s Always The Husband will keep you turning the pages until its dramatic end.’
B A Paris
‘A brilliant, twisting read that kept me guessing until the final page. A roller-coaster friendship among three college roommates ends in murder years later–unless the husband did it. I read my eyes out!’
Janet Evanovich
‘Demonstrating diabolical plotting and an ability to convincingly conjure settings, Campbell crafts a twisty page-turner.’
Publishers Weekly
‘Campbell’s debut novel is an intriguing whodunit that examines the explosive potential of secrets to destroy friendships, marriages, and lives. . . a page-turner.’
Kirkus Reviews
For my husband,
who has never tried to kill me. . . as far as I know
I no doubt deserved my enemies but I don’t believe I deserved my friends.
WALT WHITMAN
