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.

Talk about Pandora’s Box! The many characters were easy to recognize and care about, but the back and forth is hard for me to keep track of. The separate people wrap up and resolve in an interesting and believable way. This was a very good book.
Too many plots going on at one time. Most of it made me sad
I can’t imagine Ms. Moriarity writing anything I didn’t enjoy. While the ending wasn’t quite as upbeat as I would have preferred, it was satisfying nonetheless.
Excellent study of the character of 4 women whose lives interact in different ways. The story is interesting, and at different times it’s steamy, tragic, twisted, and a page turner. We see justice occur, but are not comfortable or happy about it.
This book was so profound and showed how a single act can change several lives. It felt so real, and I really got into the characters’ minds and felt what they must have been feeling. I couldn’t put it down.
Really liked this book, am interested in more by this author now!
Page Turner for me. Interesting characters.
Enjoyed good reaf
Good read!
I liked how well the author wove the various family’s stories together, yet keeping them distinct. It can be a little confusing initially but worth it. The questions that are raised in the setting of every day situations, as well as the potential disasters and tragedies, are ones that can happen to anyone and were so thought-provoking, simple yet not simplistic. The characters were also well done because there were some whom were sympathetic yet simultaneously dislikable. I bought this on a whim and really enjoyed it.
Love all her books
I couldn’t put it down as the plot thickened and the unpredictable happened.
I loved every twisty turny page !
This book held me captive once I got the characters down. The ending was sad, amazing and unexpected Strongly recommend it
Great read!
I love the author and enjoyed the book. Entertaining story with some interesting twists.
An excellent read.
I’m a fan. I love all of her books!
This is the first book I’ve read by Liane Moriarty. After seeing the HBO version of her novel “Big Little Secrets,” I decided to give her a try. I was really impressed with her characters, her plot, her pacing, and her general overall storytelling. This book stuck with me. I’ve moved on to another one of her books because of this and am finding it just as good.
Wow! What a story. I loved this book with all the turns that were not predictable.
