The Husband’s Secret is exactly what I’ve come to expect (and crave) from Liane Moriarty: domestic life turned inside out, with characters you think you know until you really, really don’t. She’s basically the queen of the emotional booby trap — you walk in expecting book club banter and end up questioning the nature of morality and whether any marriage is safe from implosion.
The premise is irresistible — a wife finds a letter from her husband meant to be opened after his death... but he’s still very much alive. What unfolds is a slow-burn unraveling of secrets, guilt, and what-ifs that hit a little too close to home in the best possible way.
Moriarty’s signature blend of humour, heartbreak, and uncomfortable truths shines through. Yes, some plot points require a suspension of disbelief, but honestly? So does life.
Fans of Big Little Lies or Little Fires Everywhere will probably devour this quite quickly, just like I did.
Recommended for anyone who enjoys psychological drama dressed in yoga pants and sipping Pinot Grigio at 3 p.m.
