The Best Way to Bury Your Husband

Four new friends. Four dead bodies. One big problem . . .




Four new friends. Four dead bodies. One big problem . . .

In this darkly funny story with a big heart, meet the four women who have two things in common: 1) they were all pushed too far in their abusive relationships, and 2) they all have a corpse to dispose of...

Sally never meant to cave her husband's head in with a skillet. Or at least she didn't until suddenly, she did.

But Sally isn't the only woman in town reaching breaking point. When coincidence brings four strangers together, a surprising friendship is formed.

So can they find the best way to bury their husbands - and get away with it?

Praise for The Best Way to Bury Your Husband

Tense, funny, moving and strangely cosy

Holly Bourne

Darkly comedic... Heartbreaking and hilarious

Jesse Sutanto

Perfect for those who like feminism with their dead bodies

Julie Cohen

Casale’s book goes beyond the statistics to tell four very human stories

The Washington Post

A sharp, entertaining, and fast-paced story that’s as much about revenge as it is about sisterhood and liberation

Booklist

A darkly comedic story with hijinks that will leave you torn between shock and horrified laughter. Casale has tackled a heartbreaking topic with the dexterity and nuance it deserves
