It's Always the Husband by Michelle Campbell

It's Always the Husband 
Michelle Campbell
5/5 stars

Jenny, Audrey, and Kate were college roommates, and have stayed in touch through the years.  A 20 year old secret binds them together, and any one of them would be damaged if the truth were known.  When one of the three is found dead, the potential reasons are legion.

Campbell seamlessly switches between college years and the present.  Her characters are living and real.  The story is easily believed, well plotted, and gives a great surprise.  Her prose is engaging and, despite the lack of real suspense, riveting.  Overall, this was an exceptionally good novel and I universally recommend it.
