I've read only one other Moriarty book, "The Husband's Secret". That story was just ok for me, but I did enjoy the author's believable, relatable characters, and the satisfying balance of humor and drama. This book had those same aspects and more. It was the type of story where everything is nicely wrapped up at the end and you know these characters will be fine. Sometimes you really need that after other reads with heavier content. 
 The HBO series based on this book is airing now and on episode 3 as I type this. I started watching it but stopped until I finished reading the book. I'm glad I did because the original story has been changed a bit so far. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
