I have read Her Last Holiday, The Guilty Couple, and Every Move You Make by this author, and they were okay reads. I actually liked Every Move You Make a little more than the others. I wish I could say the same for It’s Always the Husband. As with two of the previous books, I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I wish there were more unique plots in thrillers these days. This one was about a single mom who meets a single dad whose two wives have died.
The character development in this book is practically non-existent. I never knew who I was reading about because they were so interchangeable. Reading it was a chore, and I didn’t feel invested at all. The story itself was so very unbelievable that it was hard to enjoy. It just seemed to go on and on and on. At one point, I just said to myself, no more of this author for me. It’s listed as “It’s Always the Husband: The brand new nail-shredding psychological thriller for 2025 from the million copy and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Guilty Couple”. I am learning that if you have to describe your books this way, you’re probably lying. Publishers, please stop putting these promises in the titles of your books; we readers hate it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
