about book: 

For fans of Whisper Network and My Dark Vanessa, Good Husbands is an electrifying psychological drama about three strangers drawn together by a shocking revelation about their husbands, and the power of women to reclaim their voices and control their own destinies.

He said, she said. Who do you believe?

 

Jessica, Stephanie, and Priyanka are complete strangers, but they have one thing in common: More than two decades ago, unbeknownst to them, their husbands committed a terrible sexual assault. Was it really rape, or a night of drunken regrets—just a horrible misunderstanding? It was a secret that remained buried, until…

 

One unsuspecting morning years later, the women each receives a letter from someone accusing their husbands of this terrible act and claiming to be the daughter born from the crime. Their worlds suddenly turned upside down, they don’t know who to trust—a complete stranger, or the men they love and built their lives with. The three women come together to embark on a hunt for the truth, but they are hardly prepared for what they will discover. Who is the real victim, and will justice ultimately be served?

my thoughts:

Wow! What a book! Good Husbands by Cate Ray is a gripping story that I could not put down for anything. It was addictive and exciting and such a thrill to read. 

Three women receive letters informing them that their husbands raped a woman years ago.  Shocked and dismayed at the letter's contents, each woman finds herself unsure of what to believe and what to do.  So, they come together to try and figure out what really happened all those years ago and what roles their husbands had in any of it. Whoa! Talk about a terrific suspense-filled mystery!

Ray has written such a riveting read - I found myself completely wrapped up in this story, trying to figure out who was telling the truth. It was the perfect book for a rainy summer day. I loved it!

I would happily recommend Good Husbands to anyone and everyone looking for their next great read. Check it out!
