Waterstones Says

Superbly smart and filled with mounting suspense, Twelve Secrets follows an acclaimed true crime journalist who must face the traumatic memories of his brother’s murder, as their hometown plays host to a fresh killing.

Ben Harper's life changed for ever the day his older brother Nick was murdered by two classmates. It was a crime that shocked the nation and catapulted Ben's family and their idyllic hometown, Haddley, into the spotlight.

Twenty years on, Ben is one of the best true crime journalists in the country and happily settled back in Haddley, thanks to the support of its close-knit community. But when a fresh murder case shines new light on his brother's death and throws suspicion on those closest to him, Ben's world is turned upside down once more.

He's about to discover that Haddley is a town full of secrets. No one is as they seem. Everyone has something to hide.

And someone will go to any length to keep the truth buried...

Fast-paced and shocking. - Woman's Weekly

A page-turner with a final revelation that satisfies by being unguessable but retrospectively inevitable - Morning Star
