The Husband's Secret

I very much enjoyed The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty.  The author introduces three main characters in consecutive chapters at the beginning of the story.  At first they seem unconnected, but their connection is revealed in a short time.  Cecilia is happily married with three daughters. When her husband is away on business, she literally stumbles upon a sealed envelope in the attic addressed to her in her husband's handwriting.  The writing on the envelope says that it is only to be opened in the event of her husband, John-Paul's death.  Cecilia is curious but puts it aside, but circumstances change and she does open it.  Meanwhile the reader learns about Rachel who is dealing with a terrible tragedy in her life, and Tess who is dealing with marriage problems.  When Cecilia opens the envelope and reads its content, her life changes as she confronts John-Paul about it.  This is a skilfully written story as the reader wonders how it will end.  Recommended. 41/2/5
