First Impressions: The Husband's Secret

Based on a recommedation (thanks Ally) I began reading The Husband's Secret. *cue dramatic music*

The front flap is what first attracted me to this book. It reads, "Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that this letter contains his deepest, darkest secret - something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive." *cue more dramatic music*

I think the cover and summary of a book are seriously important to my decision about whether or not I will read the book. I most definately judge a book by its cover (and front flap). The summary of a book should give just enough information to hook the reader, but not spoil anything. I think this summary is perfect because as the reader starts the book, they are waiting in agonizing suspense to see what this letter is about. Now, I'm on page 25, and I still haven't learned what's in the letter and I can't wait to go home and read to figure it out.
