A suspenseful, absorbing novel that examines the complexities of friendship, It’s Always the Husband by Michele Campbell will keep listeners guessing right up to its shocking conclusion.

“A riveting tale of love, hate, and murder.”—Us Weekly


“A page-turning whodunit that will speak to anyone who’s ever had a frenemy.”—Ruth Ware, bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin Ten

“Fans of Gillian Flynn, meet your next obsession.”—BuzzFeed

Meet Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny.

They first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, despite their many differences. Kate was beautiful, wild, wealthy, and damaged. Aubrey came from the wrong side of the tracks, and wanted more than anything to distance herself from her past. Jenny was brilliant, ambitious, and determined to win big at all costs. As an unlikely alliance formed, Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny swore they would always be friends.

Twenty years later, the three women—all married, and deemed successful by any measure—are together again. But one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge…and someone is urging her to jump. How did it come to this? Who is to blame? Is it true that it’s always the husband who commits the worst crimes against his wife—or is someone else behind a sinister plot to tear these three women apart?

What the critics say

"Narrator January LaVoy's considerable talents are a major factor in transitioning this novel successfully from print to audio...As the plot shifts between college days and the present, LaVoy's clarity and pacing keep the action moving and the shifting settings clear while seamlessly folding new actors into the mix." -AudioFile

"LaVoy’s narration is well suited to this fast-paced, twisted thriller. She assigns spot-on voices and attitudes to each character; listeners instantly recognize intelligent and grounded Jenny, meek and desperate Aubrey, and rich and wild Kate. LaVoy is also able to mature the voices so the girls age realistically as the story and timeline progress. The audio begins and ends with an intense and memorable soundtrack that impeccably fits the shocking ending. This is Gossip Girl meets Gone Girl and is poised to be one of 2017’s talked-about thrillers." -Booklist

“A gripping, tangled web of a novel—it pulls you in and doesn’t let you go. I loved it! -- Shari LaPena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR

"A page-turning whodunnit that will speak to anyone who's ever had a frenemy." -- RUTH WARE, bestselling author of THE WOMAN IN CABIN TEN and IN A DARK, DARK WOOD

“Secrets and scandals in an ivy league setting. What could be more riveting? Michele Campbell’s novel is a page-turning
Peyton Place." -- Tess Gerritsen, #1 Bestselling author

"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, #1 Bestselling author

From the beginning of this book, to the end, I was caught up in the characters, their stories and the story that unfolded amongst them. Right to the end the author had me in suspense and guessing what was going to happen. An easy listen that is both entertaining and well written. Highly recommend - it went beyond my expectations.

A twist that was not at all interesting. Great narration, decent story but a very anticlimactic ending.

Not a strong ending

my first book from her and it was amazing! the story line kept you guessing and when you think you were right you were wrong. The narrator was so talented it definitely has been a make or break deal with some books for me but wow did she amaze!
