The Husband's Secret

 Liane Moriarity wrote The Husband's Secret. Yes, I read two Liane Moriarity books in a row and now I am going to wait a month before I read another one.  I think I will appreciate them more if they are spread out. The Husband's Secret is set in Sydney, Australia. The prologue talks about Pandora's box. The author states that no one told Pandora not to open the box so it isn't Pandora's fault when the box is opened. Cecelia Fitzpatrick, one of the three main characters, seems to be leading the perfect life. She has three beautiful children. She is a leader in her church and the school PTA. She is a successful businesswoman. She finds a letter written by her loving husband that says it should be opened only in the event of his death. She doesn't open it. She asks him about it. When he reacts in a way that indicates he really, really does not want her to open the letter, she opens Pandora's Box the letter. Tess comes to Sydney after her husband and her cousin tell her they are romantically interested in each other. Tess moves in with her mother and her son goes to school with Cecelia's children. Rachel is the school secretary. Older than Cecelia and Tess, she is mourning the loss of her daughter who was murdered a decade earlier. I really liked the character development in this story. This story made me think about good versus evil. Sometimes it is difficult to know the difference between good and evil.
