| The Husband's Secret |
The
Husband’s Secret was an unexpected choice for me as I don’t usually seek out
mystery, and am always wary of it getting too dark and creepy. Luckily Liane
Moriarty filled the bill on a great, suspenseful read.
A
mysterious sealed letter from her husband- to be opened after his death- turns
Cecilia Fitzpatrick’s ordered life into a tailspin. Does she open it? Why does
her husband act strangely when she mentions it? Doesn’t she know everything
about her husband?
Moriarty
effectively entwines the lives of three women: Cecilia, Rachel and Tess.
Cecilia is the one who thinks she has it all: the put-together stay-at-home
society mom with the perfect family, Rachel, still grieving the loss of her
daughter 20 years ago, is consumed by the need to solve the murder, and regularly
shares her suspicions with the police; Tess, mother of one, is the owner of her own
company and running away from her husband’s betrayal. We learn about each woman
in her own voice, from her own point of view.
It
seems unlikely that these three women would have any connection to each other,
that they would be any more to each other than old school friends, or casual
community acquaintances—and especially unlikely that they would be those who
are ultimately affected by the secret contained in the letter. However, as the
story unfolds and the women discover the secret, they become unexpectedly
connected to each other.
They
each face up to the secrets and lies they individually have been holding onto
and learn some unexpected truths about themselves and those around them. Their
lives are forever changed by the secret: it is simultaneously freeing and
confining, and demonstrates how the consequences of our actions affect not only
ourselves, but also those around us.
This
is a good read for mild mystery seekers. It is full of suspense and unexpected
turns that keep you guessing…even when you think you have it all figured out.
