You think you can trust the ones you love most. But what if one secret could make you question everything?

Every day, a woman like Louise passes you in the street: elegant, confident, determined. But underneath, she’s struggling.

She doesn’t know her sister, Alice, has been scared of leaving the house since their mother died. She doesn’t know when Alice babysits her little boy, Archie, he sometimes sees things he shouldn’t. She doesn’t know Archie has a secret.

A secret that could send cracks through the heart of Louise’s carefully constructed life....

the story was a bit different from the other stories this author has written, but it shows what a great grasp the author has on human behavior.

Loved the story. I felt so bad for Archie. Poor kid. The plot was great. It kept me interested; couldn’t wait to see how everything would play out. Great book.

Great book

This story was entertaining enough and the narrator great enough to keep me listening all the way through, but I t was hard to root for an unethical protagonist. Dishonesty and stalker like behavior was the vehicle and the driver for this story to the point of ridiculousness. The boy withstanding, the characters were generally unevolved beings. Though I don’t mean to say all teens are of this ilk, it felt like this book was geared for the emotional maturity of a teenager. Still, it had some redeeming qualities sprinkled in and, as I said, it was entertaining.

Entertaining pulp

First book I’ve read by this author. Can’t wait to read more. I really enjoyed listening to this from the very beginning. Good plot with an unexpected twist. Enjoyed the narrator. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..

Pleasantly surprised!!

K.L. Slater has done it again. She’s written another thriller that “got me.” “The Secret” starts to lead you down one path, but with lots of twists and turns, before you know it, you’re going in a completely different (and surprising!) direction. A fantastic listen that I enthusiastically recommend!

Another Great Thriller
