Publisher's summary

"My darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve died...."

Imagine that 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 just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, 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. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. But that letter is about to change everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely know Cecilia - or each other - but they too are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.

Acclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping, thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible to know our spouses - and, ultimately, ourselves.

Loved it, satisfying ending.

Enjoyed the satisfying intermingling of the characters lives to create an easy to read . I cherished something about each character,very ordinary people colliding towards an extraordinary ending. The epilogue was the chuckle I needed to close the book completely content.

Genuine Entertainment

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It was undoubtedly carefully and thoughtfully written - light and easy yet with a perfect twist of suspense. It was unpredictable to me and I was anxious to see how the characters' stories unfolded. It's an entertaining story that was enjoyable enough to take me out of my own daily grind to submerse myself in and relax to. The narrator added such a special touch and heightened my level of enjoyment. Excellent story and performance.

Fantastic book!!!!!

As usual, this writer delivers a compelling story full of mystery and intrigue. The characters are so endearing and believable. Every woman has wondered at some time whether or not she knows the whole truth and whether or not she would want to know.

A Winner

Where does The Husband's Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's among my most favorites.

What did you like best about this story?

This is a true gem, and shouldn’t be classified as chick lit, as was probably inspired by the title. When I searched for it on an audible site, many lewd book suggestions appeared as well! The plot is unique, and the author’s wry sense of humor is engaging from the start! With a keen eye for the ironies in life, her inner conversations found me chuckling to myself! There are some intriguing twists in this well-constructed plot., and Lianne Moriarty most definitely has a gift for description. It’s frothy, though serious and heart wrenching at times. Certainly unpredictable!

What about Caroline Lee’s performance did you like?

She was superb! I've been looking for others narrated by her because of this listening experience.

Who was the most memorable character of The Husband's Secret and why?

I think the most memorable character was Cecelia, because she was forced to face so many challenges. Her resilience and her sense of humor were endearing.

intriguing and captivating. The story has a nice b

intriguing and captivating. The story has a nice bbuilding of characters and the ending ties everything ❤
