THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES. One of the Best Books of the Year—Entertainment Weekly One of the Top Ten Books of the Year—People At the heart of The Husband’s Secret is a letter that’s not meant to be read… Cecilia,
If you’re reading this, then I’ve died…
Imagine your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to destroy not only the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. And then imagine that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive…
Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all—she’s an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. But that letter is about to change everything—and not just for her. There are other women who barely know Cecilia—or each other—but they, too, are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.

Very disappointed. I’ve read other books by this author that I enjoyed, but this story fell flat.
Each character in the Husband’s Secret had personality well-developed. I listened to this book on Audible. But listening to the words and phrases, without the opened book in front of me, I remained confused about the “Who’s Who” characterization throughout the novel. The Audible performance was very good! In my opinion, this book was not Liane Moriarty’s best and it wasn’t one of my favorite either.
Couldn’t finish it.
Very well written
I could never have guessed the twists and turns in this book. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the story took a different direction. Very entertaining!!
The secret in this book sets off a series of sad results for so many people, who did not deserve the suffering. Interesting read.
This was a great book that I really enjoyed reading. I was hooked right from the beginning. Great beach read.
I love the way this author treats her characters. Even with flaws you care about them and what happens. Rachel’s sadness really got to me. Interesting how all the characters are woven together.
I have seen this before, that is, where a secret destroys the lives of others. In this plot the secret turns out to be unnecessary. The angst and negative consequences is clear in this book. If we have the opportunity to tell the truth, it can prevent a lot of pain. The book is so appealing because “Who doesn’t have secrets.”
Some things in life seem so routine in your life, your neighborhood and in your family…. that is until your whole world is turned upside down and you know not where to turn for the right answer. Love this author and the way she weaves a tale and throws in the twist and turns to surprise you. Searching out more of her writings.
I liked this LM book too (not as much as What Alice Forgot or The Hypnotist’s Love Story but as much as Big Little Lies). It was a bit dark for me, although the query of how well you ever really know your spouse is worthwhile. I also enjoyed the Tess triangle and what really happened with the death – nice twist.
Like all her books, assumed truths are turned upside down. Easy to read with a satisfying ending.
Thought provoking.
Loved this story!
I thought I had it figured out very early but Moriarty surprised me.
Couldn’t wait to get this book .I was disappointed
I really, really loved this book. It had just the right amount of characters. The story had twists that I didn’t see coming, which makes a very good book in my eyes. I will recommend this book to all of my friends, female and male.
I enjoyed reading this book and the way it tied everyone together.
This book was recommended by my best friend. Thank you Jane!
If you like books with big twists, read this! One of my favorites.
