About the Book
Some people will do anything to keep a secret.
Nicole feels like she’s finally in a good place. She’s a successful therapist in a loving relationship with her partner, Pablo. And she has a good relationship with her ex-husband with whom she shares custody of her beautiful son, Ben.
But life wasn’t always so sweet.
A couple of years ago, she was stalked by a troubled client, a hugely stressful experience, and one of the main reasons her short marriage ended.
Nicole picked herself up again, determined to put the past behind her.
But when she takes on a new client, inexplicable things start to happen. And soon it looks very much like someone is out to get her – again. At first, she wonders if she can really be going through this for a second time. Maybe, scarred by the trauma of the past, she’s just imagining it?
As events get ever stranger and more terrifying, she realizes the threat is very real and she needs to find out who is behind it.
But as Nicole draws closer to the truth, she realizes it’s more horrifying than anything she could ever have imagined. And she knows, if she is to survive, she must find the courage to uncover… The Secret.
My Review
I read this in one sitting. I love a short thriller. It has no time to dawdle and this one moved along at a brisk pace, didn’t get sidetracked with extra and kept me guessing. What more could you want? It’s well written, compelling and real characters, and what every thriller needs, a twist. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, you are rethinking it all.
I’ll definitely look for more of his work.
