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)

Couldn’t stop listening!

So good so good so good. Thought provoking, I cried, I laughed, I listened to it in less than a week which is really really fast for me!

What if

I love the what if symbolism of this book. It made me think a lot about life and the fact that what happens in it is dependent on so many things. I love books that make you think! Great read.

Great read!

Interesting cast of characters. Definitely makes you think "What would I do?" Does the truth set you free?

Good enough to keep my attention.

While I dId finish this book, for me, it was a bit like mindless reading. Which is not to say that it was bad. It took my mind off of other thoughts at times; thereby keeping my attention. Sort of like going to see a movie that I know isn't full of stellar performances, but I enjoyed nonetheless.

Highly entertaining

This book reads like a long movie. You don't want to ever hit pause. The narrator does a superb job

Good “read”

The woman who reads this book does an amazing job. I love all the different voices she conjures up.

Not your average domestic drama

I loved this book! It’s not your average ‘the husband did it’ domestic drama. Everyone has a secret in this book! It expertly examines love, marriage, family, and grief in a way that is both interesting and thought provoking. I really enjoyed it and if you’re a fan of this genre I’m sure you will too!

Intriguing story

This book kept my attention the entire time. We'll written story with great narration. Good read!

Liane Moriarty is my favorite writer, today and Caroline Lee is by far my favorite narrator!

Liane Moriarity’s books are each masterpieces in my estimation. She developes the characters in such detail that you can picture each one so clearly and you feel you know them!
Caroline Lee has the perfect intonation for these performances. I have read practically everything written by Moriarity or narrated by Caroline Lee as a result. Needless to say, I am a fan and recommend “The Husband’s Secret “ to all my Audible friends!
