Book Description:

Welcome to Lowbridge. Where secrets hide behind every door…

When newly divorced Jude arrives in the small town of Lowbridge, she is soon drawn to widower Will, the father of her young daughter’s best friend.

But Will’s past is shrouded in tragedy, with questions that no one knows the answer to – and after two tragedies tore his life apart in just a few short years, gossip and rumours abound about what really happened to the women he loved.

As whispers of murder surround Will, Jude becomes determined to uncover the truth – and with her own father’s tragic fate haunting her, she refuses to let another innocent man suffer.

Yet in Lowbridge the darkness runs deep, and nothing is as it seems. Can Jude protect Will from a community out for blood? Or will she become the next victim in this web of deceit?

Because whilst one dead wife is tragic, two starts to look like murder…

My Thoughts:

Jude has recently moved to the small town of Lowbridge with her daughter. She isn’t one of those mums who enjoys being part of the school clique and part of the in ground. If anything, the only person she has bothered with is Will, a fellow single parent, who is not only a widow but whose most recent partner has disappeared.

The story mainly alternates between three women, Jude, Victoria, who is the queen bee that everyone wants to be friends with, and Sorrel, one of the other mums in the group. It soon becomes clear that something more darker is going on in this small town which affects more than a few of the residents and will have you having doubts about everyone.

The mums at the school gate is not a new trope by any means but the author does it so well that makes it fresh and exciting. Whilst you will have some suspicions about some of the women, you will change your mind about certain characters as the story moves along. It’s not just the women of course, but the husbands also that will have you constantly changing your mind. I was constantly swapping from empathy to suspicion and then back to empathy again.

It’s Always The Husband was a fast paced read that never let up on the momentum. It will have you second guessing everyone as you try and work out what really happened to Will’s partner Robin as well as who is behind the other strange things that are happening to some of the residents. It certainly kept me guessing and the revelations when they come, come thick and fast which sent my pulse soaring and holding my breath throughout. Seriously engrossing and addictive, C.L. Taylor goes from strength to strength with each psychological thriller she writes. Another winner!
