Horrible Husbands: A totally addictive and deliciously shocking psychological thriller
Is your husband so horrible that you’d ask your best friend to kill him?
Penny: I know my husband has cheated on me. But I can’t believe what I just found in the bedside drawer. Are my children safe . . . ?
Lisa: The first time he did it was on our wedding anniversary. He broke down in tears afterwards. That’s the thing about Simon. He’s always sorry . . . until the next time.
Holly: My husband is useless. He just loafs around the house all day and spends my money. But now I think he’s done something far worse.
We’ve descended on Penny’s stunning country home for a rare girls’ weekend.
As the cocktails flow, it turns out we’re all keeping secrets. Bloody hell, we sure can pick them.
We clink our glasses. “Here’s to our horrible husbands. May they get what’s coming to them.”
Good friends will die for you. But only best friends will kill for you.
Please note this book contains themes of domestic abuse that some readers may find upsetting.
AN EXHILARATING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FULL OF EXTREMELY DARK HUMOUR WITH TWISTS THAT WILL MAKE YOU GASP.

Horrible Husbands was an absolute thrill! Jessica is an author that I never even look at what the book is about. I just read it. I always trust I'm going to love what she wrote.
This book takes you on a wild, twist-filled ride from the get-go. Jessica's knack for blending heart-pounding suspense with deep, emotional moments is truly phenomenal. I couldn't put it down and found myself staying up late, eagerly pushing the button on my page turner.
Jessica dives into the tangled lives of three lifelong friends—Penny, Holly, and Lisa. During a weekend visit, they unveil dark secrets about their marriages and consider taking actions against their husbands.
Told from multiple perspectives, this psychological thriller captures themes of female friendship, empowerment, and resilience. While the plot tackles serious issues like domestic abuse and betrayal, Jessica weaves in elements of dark humor, adding layers of depth to the characters and their relationships.
Jessica has nailed it once more.
That freaking ending!! Fantastic! If you're looking for a book that's both engaging and edge-of-your-seat thrilling, Horrible Husbands is a must-read. Highly recommend!
