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.

Great read!!!!
Couldn’t put it down. The ending was a complete surprise.
I like all of Liane’s books the characters come alive and there are some humorous moments
The book had great twists. It also was a great book club discussion book.
I love all of her books. This ones ending was very surprising. I read the book a year ago and still think about the story and it’s ending.
I love the author & read everything she writes because she is clever & never disappoints.
I have read everything that Liane Moriarty has written and enjoy her work very much.
An interesting story about a marriage and how you never really know your spouse until your world suddenly changes. Good character development and an easy read.
As usual l. Moriarty is suspensul and witty and gets women. Love her. Read this.
The unfortunate title of this book leads one to expect a predictable romance novel, which I suspect has led to fewer readers of this truly original story. For months afterward, I found myself asking “Why?” And “What would I have done?”
Kept you guessing.
Excellent, thought provoking book! Well- written, intriguing story that takes some unusual twists. Very enjoyable read…
Enjoyed this book very much. Kept me guessing all through the book and was still quite surprised by the ending.
I LOVE Liane Moriarty! This book was unpredictable, even though you know from the beginning that it is the husband…a page-turner for sure!
Boring, self indulgent I could not finish reading or which is very unusual for me
Brilliantly written! Loved the characters in this book. You see the same story from different perspectives. I didn’t see the ending coming! Moriarty has become quite good at building tension. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
I found the story too unbelievable and unrealistic. Hard for me to stick with it.
I literally couldn’t put this book down. I absolutely love the way the characters all have their own drama going on that is woven together so brilliantly and at times unexpectedly.
Loved it!
I am quickly becoming a Liane Moriarty fan.
When I read the cover jacket summary, I was highly intrigued. What did this man do that he wrote a letter to his wife that should be opened upon his death… maybe I should do something like that! But wait… do I have a secret I need to reveal… yes… worth putting in a sealed letter that I can’t disclose until I’m dead and buried… no… so I guess this won’t be something I need to do in the future. Eh, I tried.
But reading the book is something to do! And it did not disappoint. It has many different characters and focuses on 4 or 5 stories that interweave throughout the different people’s lives. Figuring out who is who takes a little while, but once you do, you totally see the story coming together. And when it finally does with the tragedy near the end, you’re heartbroken.
I would definitely read another book by this author. I have recommended it to several friends. Nice job!
Small spoiler in this paragraph so skip it if you haven’t read the book yet… Fate? Karma? Is it fair to inflict that on someone who had nothing to do with the original crime except that the recipient was related to the perpetrator of the original crime? I found it unfair given who is impacted, but ultimately, it gives the reader something very intricate to think about.
