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.

It was a book about Life. In the real world, things happen and there is not always a happy ending. This book portrayed real situations and like (life) it’s not always tied neatly in a bow. Sometimes you’re left wondering, asking why and not understanding. If you’re looking form romance or happy ever after keep looking. This book packs a punch and I loved it.
I’m usually quite good at predicting outcomes in books, but this one made it impossible for me to guess. It was definitely worth the read/listen.
Once I started this, I couldn’t put it down. This was a great book, with many turns.
I listened to the Audiobook. The narration was excellent.
The book was three major plot lines that were interwoven into each other. Each was interesting and as I listened, wondered where the story was going to take me.
Everyone has secrets, and if they are kept hidden or exposed, what changes will happen in your life? This concept is what the book explores. Secrets hidden still effect you, your actions and feelings are a result of your overall perception of yourself. Secrets told, can change lives for the better or for the worse.
I loved the epilogue that tied up the character’s lives for the future. You can see in their continuing lives how the secrets kept and told still have long playing out consequences.
This was the first book that I “read” by this author. I definitely will be seeking out her other books.
Great book. Held my interest until the end.
I found this book to be very engaging. I would suggest this book for a rainy day.
I think that this story would make a very good movie. I thought it was a well written book, that was engaging from the start.
My first Liane Moriarty after Big Little Lies and I think I’m becoming a BIG fan, I especially love her characters and will definitely read more of her soon!
It was very hard to ‘get into’ this book. Too many characters presented too quickly and the chapters also changing groups of people was not only distracting, but made it very hard to stay reading. Because it is a book club selection, I have to finish it. If not, I would give up. Perhaps others have a positive take on the book. I hope so.
I always think I know what the story is about and then I find out I don’t. Have to love an author who always keeps you guessing. Every book is an original with this author.
Another great one by Liane Moriarity. Her intricate plots and interesting characters make this one hard to put down.
The Husband’s Secret is an amazing book! The writing is brilliant. The characters are so well-developed, with deep wounds and secrets. Cecilia finds a letter from her husband only to be opened on his death, Tess’s husband breaks the news to her that he and her cousin have fallen in love, and Rachel is grieving the loss of her daughter who was murdered many years earlier. Their stories seem unrelated at first, but the way they tie together is brilliant. The plot has so many twists and turns and the ending was totally unexpected. I will definitely be looking for more Liane Moriarty books.
Excellent book!!!

I’ve read everything by this author and I have enjoyed every one of her books! I’m always looking forward to anything she writes. All of her books are page Turners with well developed characters.
Original! Loved the unexpected ending!!
I loved this book! Moriarty has a way of making you feel like you are right in the scene with the characters, and she is expertly able to weave several story-lines together. I did NOT guess the husband’s secret until the very end. Loved it! This will definitely not be my last by her!
Great positioning and development of characters.
Another excellent, hard to put down book from a great Australian author!
Love this author!!!
