Review: The Husband's Secret

The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

My Darling Cecilia
If you're reading this, then I've died . . .

Imagine your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret - something so terrible it would destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others too. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive . . .

Cecilia Fitzpatrick achieved it all - she's an incredibly successful business woman, 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 devastating secret.

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting concept - what would you do if you discovered your husband's darkest secret? The pace of the book felt a bit frantic at times though. Lots of characters to follow, maybe too many. I didn't think it needed its epilogue either.
