The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What would you do if your husband left you a letter that he didn’t intend for you to find and open until after his death, but that you mistakenly found while he was still alive and well? Would you defy his wishes and open it? This is the dilemma facing Cecelia Fitzpatrick in The Husband’s Secret.
Riveting. I actually gasped when I found out what the secret was. I was transfixed. I didn’t expect to find out what the secret was at the time it was revealed in the book, nor did I ever come close to guessing what it would be. The clever way this tale was told, combining three narratives into one, ratcheted up my interest and enjoyment of the book. It’s difficult to review The Husband’s Secret without giving too much away, so suffice to say it was worth every minute I spent on it. The epilogue was very unique and was a story unto itself. Again, I don’t want to give too much away but I highly recommend this book. Secrets can transform lives, and in The Husband’s Secret, lives will be changed in many ways. After reading this book I will surely look into more of Liane Moriarty’s books. An excellent page-turner that I never wanted to put down.
I really didn’t enjoy Big, Little Lies although I would give the author 5 stars for her writing the story was just not for me…. but I am intrigued by this one!

I went out and bought Big Little Lies after reading The Husband’s Secret. I thought The Husband’s Secret was really well written, and it held my attention to the very end.

I would be very interested to read your review and see how you might compare the two once you have read Big Little Lies. As I said, a great writer but the actual story in that case was no for me!

I’m quite interested now to see if I’ll like it as much as I liked The Husband’s Secret. We shall see. Once I’ve read it I’ll definitely post.

Hi Jill!! I both listened to the audiobook version (outstanding!), and read the book, and I thought it was so well written. I, too, had the book for a while and finally decided to read it. Liane Moriarty is an excellent storyteller. Enjoy your weekend too. ( :
