The Angry Wives Club

By Gabbie Stroud

Domestic noir with a chick-lit twist--a sharp, funny story of laughter, sisterhood, and women daring to do things differently. Perfect for fans of Jane Caro's The Mother and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies.

Welcome to Shellwater Bay, where the sea is calm, the scenery is idyllic... and three women are quietly planning a revolution.

Joany appears to have the perfect life, but behind closed doors she's hiding a dangerous secret.

Heather believes her marriage is rock-solid--until her husband suddenly asks for a divorce.

Steph is raising children with a man who thinks "helping out" means calling his mother.

United by sweat, frustration, and friendship at their local gym, the three women begin sharing the silent compromises they've made to keep the peace in their relationships.

But peace comes at a price.

And when years of simmering resentment finally boil over, these unlikely friends decide that perhaps a crime or two might solve everyone's problems...

Darkly funny, wickedly clever, and packed with heart, this domestic noir explores marriage, motherhood, friendship, and the lengths ordinary women will go to reclaim their lives.
