About this ebook
'I was mind blown... I ended up finishing the book at 2:30am on a workday - need I say more?!' Reader review, 5 stars
'Whoa baby, this was a WILD ride! A brilliant page turner' Reader review, 5 stars
Some couples would kill for a weekend away...
It was supposed to be a fun trip. Three couples, friends since high school, arrive at a remote mountain retreat ready to unwind and catch up.
When an innocent remark of swapping partners is made, they laugh it off as a joke. But after a few glasses of wine, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea. With the lights off, it's not really cheating when you don't know who you're with, right?
As the lights flicker back on, what started out as a night of fun quickly descends into horror when one of the husbands is discovered dead. Suspicion grows between the friends, but no one is willing to come forward and confess what they know. With no phone service and the car keys missing, they're now stranded on the mountain with no way down. And the killer is just getting started...
An absolutely unputdownable and fast-paced crime thriller that will keep you guessing with each new page, never knowing what to expect next. Fans of Clare Mackintosh, Sarah Pearse and Lucy Foley will enjoy this gripping locked-room thriller from Jack Heath set in the Australian bush.
*First published as Kill Your Husbands, an Audible Original title*
