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.

Critic reviews

“Spellbinding.... A knockout!” (Emily Giffin, New York Times best-selling author)

“The Husband’s Secret is so good, you won’t be able to keep it to yourself.” (USA Today)

“Lip-smacking and sharply intelligent.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Didn't see it coming!

I enjoyed the story. The way each characters' story line intersected was masterfully written. There are some shocking revelations that seem to come out of nowhere. The Australian setting and performer were enchanting, although a bit slow at times. Push through, it all comes together at the end.

Great story!

Really enjoyed this book... recommending this to friends . Kept me guessing and interested . Great story.

I will read more from this author!

I really had no idea where this book was going in the beginning, but it grabbed me in about 5 minutes! Great plot(s) and the inner weaving of the stories and the ending is extremely fascinating. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a lot of twists and turns in the story and a lot of questions unanswered until the end. The narration was fantastic!

Awesome book

Very thought provoking and witty from beginning to end a bit of life twists and turns

If you could sum up The Husband's Secret in three words, what would they be?

Gripping, stunning, interesting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Definitely Connor. He got the raw end of the deal all the way around.

Have you listened to any of Caroline Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

NO, but I enjoyed this one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It didn't make me laugh or cry..... but I did not see the shocker coming and usually I can guess the underlying "Who Done It" before it happened. She got me.
