I'll admit that I did not enjoy The Husband's Secret, the first Liane Moriarty book I read. When this was chosen for my book club, I was prepared to not like this one either. However, I'm glad to report that this book was extremely enjoyable. 
 While the plot revolved around several different mysteries, the author let the characters tell their stories with fantastic pacing and placement to create suspense and suspicion. I didn't detect any major red herrings or "tricks" to fool the reader. And while I did guess correctly on one of the mysteries, it remained a guess until it was actually revealed. 
 This book also had plenty of humor in the form of short statements being given by the parents throughout each chapter. The characters were well written and consistent. The ending was wrapped up well with all questions answered. It was sort of marvelous that such straightforward writing and plot kept me on the edge of my seat. And kudos to the author for creating kids' voices that were neither annoying or unrealistic. 
 A good read! 4 stars.
