Summary
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.

Editor reviews
Kathy Lette is a straight-shooting, big-hearted, Aussie ex-pat who goes straight for the throat and the funny-bone of the middle-aged woman in her novels, articles, and works for the screen. Like an Australian Nora Ephron, Lette makes her audience a bit uncomfortable, but her sympathy never fails.
In How to Kill Your Husband, a novel, Aussie Caroline Lee performs in a slow, simple manner as she tells the story of Jazz Jardine, who is in prison for killing her husband, and Jazz’s middle-aged friends’ attempts to secure her exoneration. The set-up, of course, is just the English muffin; the butter is the musing on family, love, and age. This would make a good gift to a friend who is - or should be - divorced.

Funny and very rude, loved it
I haven’t read any Kathy Lette books for a very long while. The title caught my eye and I thought, well, why not. This isn’t a book for men, but oh my goodness nearly every woman I know will resonate to the situations In which our heroine finds herself. The reader, Australian Caroline Lee, is perfect, and the couples therapy scene had me laughing hysterically. Great fun.

Absolutely hideous on so many levels
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I vaguely remember reading a Kathy Lette book in my teens and I had a recollection of it being quite funny. So either teenage me was very easily pleased or Lette's writing has slipped but this is painful to listen to; I'm now allergic to similes after I assume the author was trying to win a bet as to how many awful ones she could fit into a sentence and still get it past her editor. Lame storyline, unlikeable characters and I only stuck with as I assumed (wrongly) that it might get better.

Okay
Lighthearted romp and made me smile in a few parts.
Not my kind of book.

Boring and predicable
Narrative from an Australian....no issue, but why? Barely any references to Australia. Storyline absolutely dragged out. Did not connect to any of the 3 main characters at all. Had no feeling/empathy for them. As I bought this book on Audible I had to listen to the end.. I don't give up easily, but this will be deleted from my library! Boring, predicable and just awful. Sorry. I normally give reviews on good books, but jeeze this was awful.

More Awful Puns Than Story
A strange story that goes in multiple unbelievable directions, unlikable characters, so many awful puns and ‘jokes’ and a predictable ending.
