The Husbands by Chandler Baker (2021) 346 pages
Nora is stressed: She's under review this year to determine whether she'll make partner in her law firm. Her immediate boss is a huge drain on her time. She and her husband are trying to find a bigger house before their second child is born. While her husband, Hayden, is the sweetest guy, she still feels the pressure of being the primary parent for handling the life of their preschooler and other household duties.
The couple looks at a house in a neighborhood outside Austin, called Dynasty Ranch. The house seems perfect to Nora and the neighbors seem terrific—lots of women of various professions gather regularly and support each other. And their husbands all seem extraordinarily focused on taking care of their children, their homes, and their wives.
Nora is asked by her potential new neighbors to try to find out whether anyone/any company can be held responsible for a fire that destroyed the home of one of the neighbors and killed a neighborhood man, in order to provide for Penny, his wife. As Nora investigates, the situation seems headed in a very weird direction.
