The Angry Wives Club by Gabbie Stroud

Domestic noir with a chick-lit twist. A new novel from Gabbie Stroud about laughter, sisterhood, and women daring to do things differently. For readers of Jane Caro's The Mother and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies.

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

Joany appears to have the perfect life, though behind closed doors she's hiding a dangerous secret. Heather thinks her marriage is rock-solid until her husband asks her for a divorce. Steph is raising kids with a man who thinks "helping out" means calling his mother.

Bonded at their gym by sweat and fury, the three swap stories about the silent bargains they've made to keep the peace in their relationships.

But peace has its price. And when the simmering rage starts to bubble over, these new friends decide a crime or two might be in order.

"A fun and funny romp with female friendship at its heart." Kathy Lette, author of The Sisterhood Rules

"From angry teachers to angry wives, Gabbie Stroud's humour, empathy and yes, fury about women's lives make for a deeply satisfying and cathartic read." Jane Caro, author of Lyrebird
