LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE meets GET OUT and THE STEPFORD WIVES in the spectacular new novel from the New York Times bestselling author Chandler Baker.
How far will a woman go to get a little more help from her husband?
‘Chandler Baker is the queen of the feminist thriller‘ SALLY HEPWORTH
‘Incredible . . . it made me angry in the best possible way‘ JESSICA MOOR
‘The Husbands may just save your marriage‘ CELIA WALDEN
Recently, Nora has started to feel that ‘having it all’ comes with a price, one her husband doesn’t seem to be paying quite so heavily. She loves Hayden, but why is it that, however hard men work, their wives always seem to work that little bit harder?
When their house-hunting takes them to an affluent suburban neighbourhood, Nora’s eyes are opened to a new world. Here, the wives don’t make all the sacrifices. Here, the husbands can remember the kids’ schedules, and iron and notice when the house needs dusting.
But when she becomes involved in a wrongful death case involving one of the local residents, Nora begins to suspect that there’s a dark secret at the heart of this perfect world.
One which might just be worth killing for . . .

Reviews
Chandler Baker, queen of the feminist thriller, has delivered once again! The Husbands is a poignant exploration of what it would take for women to have it all ... and it's as sobering as you might imagine. My head is still spinning. I can already hear the book club discussions!
Every weary wife needs to read this book. You'll belly laugh in recognition, sob in recognition - but ultimately, The Husbands may just save your marriage
Incredible. . . The Husbands expresses a truth that needed to be articulated, that will resonate with every woman I know. It made me angry in the best way.
