Description
'A twisted and devious ride.'
HAYLEY SCRIVENOR
'Kept me guessing right till the end.'
RACHAEL JOHNS
'There are two brain-teasing mysteries at play here: One, an expertly crafted locked room puzzle to solve. Two . . . how is Jack Heath just so damn good?'
BENJAMIN STEVENSON
How well do you really know your friends?
Three couples, mates since high school, rent a luxurious house in the mountains near Warrigal for an unplugged weekend of drinking and bushwalking. No internet, no phones, no stress. On the first night, the topic of partner-swapping comes up. It's a joke - at first.
Not everyone is keen, but an agreement is made and the lights are turned out. When they come back on, one of the men is dead. The phones still don't work; the remaining five friends are stranded. And the killer is just getting started.
Senior Constable Kiara Lui is once again on the job, hoping to solve her first murder case as lead investigator. She just needs to work out who is lying and why ...
Another sinister, twisty and blackly comic murder mystery from the bestselling author of Hangman.
'I dare you to stop reading once you begin.'
DINUKA McKENZIE, author of The Torrent and Taken
'Can you trust your spouse? Can you trust your friends? Who's telling the truth, who's spinning tales? Turn off the lights at the holiday house and let's find out who's really unhinged. Kill Your Husbands is creepy, creepy, creepy - and I loved it!'
MICHELLE PRAK, author of The Rush
