It's Always The Husband by C.L. Taylor
5.0
adventurous challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

Okay, it's always a treat to settle down with the latest CL Taylor novel. 
And her latest novel, "It's Always The Husband" is no different. 
With an intriguing, fast-paced storyline and relatable characters, this story is attention grabbing from the opening page. Now, I did say "relatable" characters. I'm not suggesting that we are all murderers or committing blackmail, with their concerns of juggling business, family and meeting the expectations of other parents at the school gates, allow readers to find themselves in a world that we can recognise and also partially understand. 
We have 3 main protagonists: 
Jude  - a recent arrival in the town, and finding herself drawn to Will
Sorrell  - a long term resident of the town, but on the fringes socially 
Victoria  - the Queen of the local social circle and Parents group

The three women are not friends and have very different views. With Will considered a murder suspect by most villagers, our three protoganists will find themselves struggling to find the truth before the killer strikes again.
My only issue is ... the book is being published in June and I'm writing this review in April ... how will I wait for two months to talk about it??!!
