The Angry Wives Club

Domestic noir with a chick-lit twist: a story of laughter, sisterhood, and women daring to do things differently. Perfect for fans of Jane Caro's The Mother and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies.


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

Joany appears to have the perfect life, but behind closed doors, she's hiding a dangerous secret. Heather thought her marriage was rock-solid until her husband demands 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 women start asking the hard questions: About the relationships they're in, the rules they've obeyed, and the silent bargains they've made to keep the peace.

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


With sharp wit, heartfelt empathy and unflinching honesty, The Angry Wives Club is a story of women doing things differently - breaking cycles, reclaiming power, and discovering what happens when female friendship becomes the most radical act of all.©2026 Gabrielle Stroud (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd.
