The Husband's Secret - by Liane Moriarty

Like the other books by this author, this has a complex storyline, with multiple points of view. Each chapter or part of a chapter is from the viewpoint of one of three characters, whose thoughts are described. The viewpoint often seems to change at a crucial point - a cliffhanger - which kept me turning the pages.

Although it is a longish book, I did not feel it was too long. The complexity of the story is revealed at a sensible pace and there are plenty of little [and not so little] twists. I confess that I had guessed the contents of the letter before it was revealed, but only just before. By the end of the book, there are very few loose ends.

Again, in keeping with the author's other books that I have read, the story is entertaining, but also it made me think about aspects of life and relationships and the assumptions that we all make.
