ReviewsPraise for Big Little Lies "Ms. Moriarty's long-parched fans have something new to dig into... Big Little Lies [may have] even more staying power than The Husband's Secret. "-- The New York Times "Funny and thrilling, page-turning but with emotional depth, Big Little Lies is a terrific follow-up to The Husband's Secret ."-- Booklist (starred review) " Big Little Lies tolls a warning bell about the big little lies we tell in order to survive.

  • Captures the essence of lying! Those lies that start out as “little” soon mushroom into “BIG” ones!

    This is the second book by this author I have read. The first I read was “The Husband’s Secret.” It is a real “page turner!”

  • not my usual read but good

    I would say this definitely qualifies as chick lit which we all need in our lives from time to time. I liked the pace of it and the suspense was fairly good. The characters were well developed also. The only major complaint I would have is in a couple of scenarios the suspension of disbelief asked of the reader is a bit too much and some of the parts were a bit cliche but i won't go into too much detail because of spoilers. But overall I recommend it, especially if you are busy because even though it's a fairly hefty book, it reads very quick. I had it read in less than 24 hours and I read it in several sittings.
