The Husband's Secret

The Husband's Secret by, Liane Moriarty
Rating: Great
I read this book in January and liked it so much it was my book club choice for this year.  July is my month to host, and I reread the book for it to be fresh in my mind.  I can say I liked it as much the second time. How well does anyone really know the people that are closest to them?Once their secrets are revealed, the responsibility of knowing also becomes yours.
Cecilia Fitzpatrick finds a letter address to her in a box of old bank statements that is from her husband.  On the letter is her name and open after my death.  Cecilia is a good wife and wants to abide by his wishes but the letter is controlling her thoughts.  Tess with her husband Will, and cousin Felicity own and advertising company.  When her marriage is on the rocks she goes back to her hometown, to stay with her mother. She enrolls her son into her old elementary school.  Rachel is an elderly lady that works in the school office that both Tess and Cecilia's children attend. Rachel's daughter Janey was murdered as a teenager, and would have been around the age of Tess and Cecilia if she had lived.  All three women barley know each other, but their lives are intertwined by secrets. Excellent writing by Liane Moriarty. Fantastic plot and characters.  A GoodReads Best of 2013
