This thriller had so many twists and turns that I didn’t know who to believe: the podcast or the victims wife. The way the podcast picks apart both the case and Hannah’s life was truly frustrating - at least during the parts of the book where I was on her side. Because I vacillated between agreeing and disagreeing with what was happening to her. Hannah seems to be so completely in control of her life and her relationship to her journalist partner, that when things start to go wrong, I felt sorry for her. Until, that is, I didn’t!
Everyone is hiding something in this novel. And the unravelling of what really happened is quite the trip.
This was a really enjoyable, captivating read.
Recommended.

I do enjoy a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator and My Husband's Murder fit the bill very well. The tension in the book is palpable and the plot moves along at a good pace. I liked the writing style and would be interested in reading more by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. There are many twists and turns within it
This is told in a dual timeline.
I was enjoying this until the end. The ending really let it down

Hannah Catton's husband was murdered by an intruder years ago and Hannah has tried to move on with her life. Now, with a good job, a successful relationship and a new life things are looking good. Until that is, a podcast is released that casts doubt on the guilt of the convicted man.......
This book has a bit of everything: a whodunnit, tension and a bit of supernatural spookiness thrown in for good measure.
However, it is a bit of a drag in the first half. Things do ramp up in the last third of the book and the ending is good but I find myself wishing the first 60% was as interesting.

Three for a loop that this title changed - it was The Murder of Graham Catton!
I loved this, I am a big fan of true crime podcasts but I’m always so interested in how it must feel to be on the other side of it and listen to stories so close to you. I was guessing right up to the end as to what was happening and the reveal was INCREDIBLE! I loved that the characters had a clear goal for themselves, but I do wish they’d be more fleshed out. It was spooky and tense and all round gripping read.

I really enjoyed this. Fast paced with great characters it kept me guessing! Really well written too. Highly recommended.

Ten years ago, Hannah’s husband is brutally murdered in their bed while she sleeps next to him. Finally acquitted by a jury, with the true killer put behind bars, Hannah and her daughter are able to put the past behind them. Until a true crime podcast investigates the case and showcases Hannah as the true murderer. Can she convince the country - and herself - that she’s innocent?
This is a pacy and intriguing thriller from the outset. Hannah is likeable but comes with a pinch of doubt that fuels the suspicions into her involvement into Graham’s murder. I love books with podcasts in them, especially true crime ones, and this one read like many I’ve listened to before. I raced through this book because the plot was so addictive, and while I did guess one key detail (while I HATE being able to do in books), it didn’t take away from the absolute banger of an ending and the satisfaction of the conclusion.
100% recommend, a truly fun and tense reading experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Husbands Murder has all my favourite elements of a good thriller. Unreliable narrator and twists aplenty. I thought I'd worked it out! But I hadn't!
Modern and relevant, the podcast parts add a depth to the story.
Really enjoyable, and certainly a real page turner.

I enjoyed the concept and premise of this and there was enough drama and intrigue to hold my attention. I found myself trying to guess what had happened but when it was revealed I was completely wrong!

Hannah is not a reliable character and that makes for compelling reading. Using the podcast to drive the plot forward is so clever too as that really forces Hannah to face up to what has gone before. The tension is both external as the pressure builds on Hannah and internal as her mind and memories begin to crumble. It is a dark read but oh so gripping.

Love the premise, loved the start. But it just started to drag on a bit. Think it lost its way about halfway through. Which is a shame.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me gripped all the way through. Kept me guessing until the end, totally did not see the end coming.

Thank you Harper Collins and Netgalley for this and apologies for the delay in reading
I thought I worked out the ending but wrong wrong wrong I was so wrong.
An excellent read and this book made me think who actually is the murderer.
I would love to read other titles by this author.
5 stars from me

Fantastic settings, multi-layered mysteries, a derelict mental hospital, a true crime podcast, cold cases... this book has everything! Really enjoyable and satisfying.

A twist filled psychological thriller that has elements of domestic abuse threaded through the narrative. Recently, I have read many novels with dual timelines.and I am somewhat bored with author's following this route.as it slows the storytelling.

This was such a riveting psychological thriller full of unexpected twists and an unreliable heroine who will have you questioning every single thing you read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was on tenterhooks the whole time I was reading it and was flipping through the pages so fast trying to figure out the ending. The one negative is the multiple storylines and characters that can make it a bit confusing but that’s a very minor negative in my opinion. I also loved the ending for how realistic it was. Definitely recommended for fans of twisty thrillers
Rating: 4.5

A compelling read from start to finish. I had no idea who or what to believe, which certainly added to the mystery and enjoyment . This cleverly woven plot, with nerve wracking moments , had me eagerly turning the pages . Look forward to reading more from this author

Hannah Catton has tried for years to put the brutal murder of her husband behind her. But now a podcast claims the man who was convicted was innocent and is looking firmly in her direction as an alternative suspect. Is it possible that she remembers nothing of that night? Or does her amnesia merely a cover?
Gripping and unpredictable, this is a great read. It explores the dark side of true crime and podcasts where listeners and readers become the judge and jury, and as a result raises some interesting questions about the public obsession with them.

A so so book with your typical physiological marriage. A bit of a boring read. #GrahamCatton #NetGalley

This book was gripping and so creatively crafted and I devoured every page. The story follows the story of Hannah and a dual timeline, one the year that her husband was murdered and one many 10 years later when a podcast does a deep dive into the facts of the case, convinced that the person in prison for that murder is in fact innocent.
I was hooked and didn’t see some of the twists coming which is what I love about a great thriller. I was invested in the storyline and wanted to know what happened that night and why the present day narrative was following the thread that it was.
I loved it. Lots of mystery, some could be predictable if you picked up on the right threads, but most were a surprise and I loved it!
