"The Husband's Secret" by Liane Moriarty

Liane Moriarty’s The Husband’s Secret is another great book by this author. I had read and reviewed The Three Wishes by her earlier this year, and now also listened to this one on audio. This novel is a murder mystery, but not in a traditional sense. A fifteen year old girl had been murdered almost 30 years prior to the events of the novel and the murder has remained unsolved with no leads, witnesses or DNA evidence. The mother of the victim has a suspect in mind, but has no evidence against him other than her gut is telling her that it was him.

As is the case with other Moriarty’s novels, The Husband's Secret is written from several different points of view. The reader thus gets to observe the lives of several families that are dealing with their own dramas but that are also in one way or another connected to the overall murder plot.

I highly enjoyed this novel. It is filled with self-deprecating humor, but is also very uplifting and unexpectedly sagacious. I am definitely going to continue reading Moriarty’s books. I also highly recommend the audio version. The narrator is excellent. 5 out of 5 stars.
