A BookRiot Best Book of 2020

'
Shocking, twisted and brilliant. For fans of Shari Lapena, Liz Nugent and Gillian Flynn. Excellent.' Will Dean
______________

All it takes to unravel a life... is one home truth.


Marin used to have it all. She's married to the love of her life, Derek, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and is admired in her community as head of a loving family. Until the world falls apart the day her son Sebastian is taken...

A year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. The police search has gone cold. The publicity has faded. She and her husband rarely speak. With her sanity ebbing, Marin hires a private investigator to pick up where the police left off.

But instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. She's lost her son; she's not about to lose her husband. Derek's mistress is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix. Permanently.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Other psychological thrillers indebted to Gone Girl tend to be icy displays of narrative trickery. Little Secrets is just as cleverly plotted, but is given a heart by the through-line of its protagonist's emotions about her missing child, which shape her misdeeds and mistakes. A film version must be on the cards. * The Sunday Times *
Shocking, twisted and brilliant. For fans of Shari Lapena, Liz Nugent and Gillian Flynn. Excellent. * Will Dean, author of Dark Pines *
Jennifer Hillier always goes where other writers fear to tread, and Little Secrets is a dark and dazzling treat for crime fiction fans. * Mark Edwards, author of The Retreat *
