Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy locked-room mysteries where the tension ratchets up because characters can't escape and trust is completely shattered.
  • You love books with multiple unreliable perspectives where everyone has secrets and you're constantly reassessing who might have done it.
  • You want a thriller that moves fast enough to keep you up past midnight but with enough plot twists to justify every revelation.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries or gentle crime fiction without graphic violence or sexual situations.
  • You need your thrillers grounded in procedural realism rather than high-concept setups that require suspension of disbelief.
  • You find stories about infidelity and relationship betrayal too uncomfortable to enjoy even in a fictional context.

About this book

Three couples who have been friends since high school arrive at a remote mountain retreat for a weekend getaway. During the trip, they joke about swapping partners for the night. After drinking wine, they decide to go through with it in the dark. When the lights come back on, one of the husbands is found dead. Suspicion grows among the friends, but no one will admit what they know about what happened. With no phone service and the car keys missing, the group is stranded on the mountain with no way to leave. The killer remains among them and continues their actions. This is a locked-room crime thriller set in the Australian bush. The book was first published as Kill Your Husbands, an Audible Original title.
