How to Kill Your Husband

And Other Handy Household Hints

De: Kathy Lette

Narrado por: Caroline Lee

All women want to kill their husbands some of the time. "Where there's a will, I intend to be in it", wives half-joke to each other. Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. But when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husband's murder, the joke falls flat.

Life should begin at 40, but not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse. Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess; Hannah, childless career woman; and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women. Their record collections are classical, not criminal. Cassie and Hannah set out immediately to prove their best friend's innocence, uncovering betrayal, adultery, plot twists, thinner thighs and toy boys aplenty en route. But will their friendship survive these ever darker revelations?

Sexy, funny, and wise, Kathy Lette's irresistible new novel is about women not Having It All but Doing It All. It's about how today's mother is often a married lone parent. It's about the fact that no woman has ever shot her husband while he was vacuuming. This is Kathy Lette at her brilliant best, casting her trademark caustic eye on what goes on in the bedrooms and kitchens of ordinary married couples. A novel that will strike a cord with married women everywhere and ensure that, from now on, they all read the small print on their marriage licences.

Odd story

This is not an instruction manual nor is it a who dunnit. It is slow to begin and the level of general banter between characters at times made me tune out. Very predictable ending. But in saying that I listened to the end and quite enjoyed it.

Very entertaining

Spoiler alert!


Hannah can go eat shit and die
Fuck Rory
Jazz is fairly epic
I'm not quite satisfied with Cassie and Rory's relationship at the end...

Cute, entertaining book

Would you listen to How to Kill Your Husband again? Why?

Probably wouldn't listen to it twice but don't regret reading it. It was hard to follow at times but fun, light reading.

What did you like best about this story?

Quite funny how the three friends interact with each other.

Meh

Really struggled to finish, had trouble getting into the characters stories. She had the right idea, it just wasn't executed properly in my opinion.

All 5 Stars

this book has all the emotions, and a great story. and of course an awesome performance by my favorite narrator.

The 'One-Liners' Made It Worth It.

An American woman would never stay with a husband who treated her so badly... but hey, maybe women in other countries put up with more crap than we American women do. I found myself outraged at the male characters in this book... and outraged that the women put up with it! It was a great read, though - lots of surprises, some very very funny parts, parts that made me feel terribly embarrassed for the main character, and even a few parts that made me cry. Beware, though - this is not a book for the faint-of-heart... it has some crude words and phrases. Very enjoyable, overall. I'll be reading more of Kathy Lette.

Caroline Lee did a fantastic job, as always. I love her narration.
