Book Review: ‘Good Husbands: A Novel’ By Cate Ray

Three women, Jessica, Stephanie and Priyanka have never met and know nothing about each other. Then on the same day they each receive a letter from a woman they’ve never met. It contains shocking allegations against each of their husbands of something that happened thirty years ago. They’ve been accussed of the rape of a woman and one of them is the father of the woman writing the letter, who has died. At first the three women kind of dismiss the letter. But then they get together to discuss it and decide to investigate it. It turns out the three husbands know/knew each other back then and when a diary shows up detailing what happened back then, it throws the three women for a loop and they have to decide how to move forward with the relationships and their families. Make sure to read till the end for the final shocking twist. A suspenseful novel that you can’t put down. It really makes you think…what would you do if you suddenly found out something shocking from the past of someone you love and trust? A perfect book for the beach, pool or just sitting outside and reading.
