Book Review: Its always the husband

The first book I finished in 2019 was It's Always the Husband.  I really liked this book but it was a bit slower paced than I like.  It jumped in time a lot so you really had to follow along well.  The entire book my suspicions of who killed the troubled Kate jumped from character to character and I really wasn't expecting for the blame to land where it did or the actual results to pan out the way they did because they ARE DIFFERENT!  This is a tale of college roommates that had a connection but not so much a friendship.  It was a good read but I think I would give it only 2.5 stars out of 5 due to the slow pace and sort of dull details.

Amazon Synopsis:

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

Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, despite being as different as three women can be. Kate was beautiful, wild, wealthy, and damaged. Aubrey, on financial aid, came from a broken home, and wanted more than anything to distance herself from her past. And Jenny was a striver―brilliant, ambitious, and determined to succeed. As an unlikely friendship formed, the three of them swore they would always be there for each other. 

But twenty years later, one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge, and someone is urging her to jump. 

How did it come to this?

Kate married the gorgeous party boy, Aubrey married up, and Jenny married the boy next door. But how can these three women love and hate each other? Can feelings this strong lead to murder? When one of them dies under mysterious circumstances, will everyone assume, as is often the case,that it’s always the husband?
