The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
4.0
Another great book by Liane Moriarty - it really makes you question how well you know the people around you! Cecilia has the perfect life - perfect husband, children, job - until she finds a note written by her husband to only be opened upon his death. The secret contained in the letter affects the lives of the other main characters, Rachel (whose daughter was murdered 25 yrs ago) and Tess (who moves to the area after her husband leaves her for her cousin and rekindles a long lost romance).
The first few chapters are a bit confusing, as they jump from woman to woman and you are left wondering how they connect/what happened to the others. However, once the connections are made, the story moves along at a quick pace! I found myself reading huge chunks at a time to see what would happen to the women - at first glance, Tess's storyline doesn't seem to tie in with Cecilia and Rachel, but all becomes clear towards the end. Without Tess, Connor wouldn't have been in the park and the big event at the end would never have happened!
I was horrified by the price of Cecilia and John Paul's silence but I did agree with Rachel's choice at the end - though I do not think I could have been as strong as she was!
I can't wait to see if my library has more of Moriarty's work as I have really enjoyed the first two I've read!!
