A fresh new edition of this No. 1 New York Times bestselling page-turner from the author of the 2024 No. 1 bestselling Australian fiction title.

'A staggeringly brilliant novel' - Mail on Sunday

How well do you know your husband?

Cecilia Fitzpatrick, devoted mother, successful Tupperware business owner and efficient P&C President, has found a letter from her husband:

'For my wife, Cecilia Fitzpatrick, to be opened only in the event of my death.'

But Cecilia's husband isn't dead, he's on a business trip. And when she questions him about it on the phone, Cecilia senses something she hasn't experienced before: John-Paul is lying.

What happens next changes Cecilia's formerly blissful suburban existence forever, and the consequences will be life-changing for the most unexpected people.

Praise for The Husband's Secret:

'So good you won't be able to keep it to yourself' - USA Today

'The story is cleverly plotted, full of suspense and so well-written that it pulls you in from the first page' - Sunday Mirror

'Dark and compelling, this is a must read' - Sun

'Intelligent and funny' - Sydney Morning Herald
