Three women. One secret. And a letter that will change everything--forever.
Tess. Rachel. Cecilia. Three women living three very different lives. But when Cecilia opens up a Pandora's box, their lives will intersect in ways none of them could foresee.
Cecilia is the woman who seems to have it all: a successful career, a gorgeous husband, and three wonderful daughters. One day she finds an old tattered letter in the attic that's addressed to her, to be opened only in the event of her husband's death. But he's still very much alive. When Cecilia casually mentions it to him on the phone, he laughs it off, telling her to put the letter away. Yet when he flies home early from an overseas business trip, and then frantically searches for the letter, Cecilia realizes there's something important in it, something she needs to know. Yet even Pandora herself could not prepare Cecilia for what the letter reveals.

Product description
Review
"The Husband's Secret is so good, you won't be able to keep it to yourself."--USA Today
"Brilliant."--Sophie Hannah, international bestselling author of The Wrong Mother
"Lip-smacking and sharply intelligent."--Entertainment Weekly
"Perfect for vacation reading: There's humor, suspense, a circle of appealing women."--People
"Secrets can be sinister; they can eat you alive. But they can also set you free. The Husband's Secret demonstrates this power with one of the most entertaining stories I have read in ages. Perfect for book clubs--lots to debate in these pages. I just loved it."--Dorothea Benton Frank, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Original Wife
"Simultaneously a page-turner and a book one has to put down occasionally to think about and absorb, Moriarty's novel challenges the reader as well as her characters, but in the best possible way."--Publishers Weekly
"Reading groups rejoice. This meaty novel from the bestselling author will probably land on many must-read lists."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Moriarty may be an edgier, more provocative and bolder successor to Maeve Binchy."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

I guessed the secret fairly early though Moriarty did a good job trying to throw me off. Occasionally I got a bit bored by the banal conversation / thinking, however pushing through that I enjoyed the story.
Lots of characters and subplots that connect together as the story goes on and all culminate in a shared ending though obviously with different outcomes for everyone. I didn’t really feel satisfied at the end or that everything wrapped up fully, though I understand they were real and flawed characters and it was meant to leave you thinking. I didn’t overly love the ending for Tess, Liam and Will and particularly felt that not everything got wrapped up there though I know I am being finicky but even little stuff like Liam’s schooling, their agency and the plane hand holding etc. I think if something is introduced to the reader it needs to be wrapped up. Also I liked Tess so was disappointed with her ending.
I liked the sliding doors epilogue to give you ideas of what else could have been.
I did feel that Janie’s ending was flawed, considering she had a doctors appointment, I think that would have been investigated more.
A good read though with lots to unpack.
Ordinary families are not ordinary people, even though we always assume they are. It is so safe to accept that each of us is just 'getting on with life' and 'what you see is what you get'. This story makes sure you become aware that is not true.
People hold terrible secrets, not just from the outside world but within their families and others in the family sometimes know.
In this case each member is clear cut, their reactions are strong and the reader is drawn along each wishing something good would come out of it all. Something good is not always recognisable, and in this case it is more what life is really all about, accepting the truth and growing to live with it.
A worthwhile thought provoking story that is very hard to put down.
I couldn’t put this book down..
The twist in the tale leaves you wondering.... there is no satisfactory conclusion. The author leaves you guessing to the very end.

The story revolves around a woman who has found a letter from her husband which contains a secret that will change many lives.
The problem with Moriarty I find is how prescriptive she is. Similar to Dan Brown, she seems to have found a formula that works for her and she uses and reuses it in all her books. So they all seem like the same book. There's always gossipy women. There's always flitting from one key character to another per chapter, so that you are peeping into the lives of several different women. All of these lives come together at some colliding moment in the book. It's all very formulaic. Which means these books are great when you dont want to tax your mind, want something easy to dip in and out of, something that will while away the long hours on an airplane or in the hospital ER. But they are not the kind of books that will cause a revolution in your life or change the way you view the world.
It seems to be working for her, so yeah...a light read it is.
