Bonus Audio Content: Includes chapter one of Michael Robotham’s 2019 thriller GOOD GIRL, BAD GIRL!

In the best-selling tradition of The Girl on the Train and In a Dark, Dark Wood, from the internationally best-selling author whom Stephen King called "an absolute master" of the psychological thriller, comes a riveting suspense novel about the unlikely friendship between two pregnant women that asks: How far would you go to create the perfect family?

Agatha is pregnant and works part time stocking shelves at a grocery store in a ritzy London suburb, counting down the days until her baby is due. As the hours of her shifts creep by in increasing discomfort, the one thing she looks forward to at work is catching a glimpse of Meghan, the effortlessly chic customer whose elegant lifestyle dazzles her. Meghan has it all: two perfect children, a handsome husband, a happy marriage, and a stylish group of friends, and she writes perfectly droll confessional posts on her popular parenting blog - posts that Agatha reads with devotion each night as she waits for her absent boyfriend, the father of her baby, to maybe return her calls.

When Agatha learns that Meghan is pregnant again and that their due dates fall within the same month, she finally musters up the courage to speak to her, thrilled that they now have the ordeal of childbearing in common. Little does Meghan know that the mundane exchange she has with a grocery store employee during a hurried afternoon shopping trip is about to change the course of her not-so-perfect life forever....

With its brilliant rendering of a shocking kidnapping plot and the secrets some women hold close, The Secrets She Keeps delivers a dark and twisted thriller.

Top of the heap! One of the best thrillers I've ever listened to, and I listen to a ton. So clever and unexpected.

What other book might you compare The Secrets She Keeps to and why?

Lock the Door by Jane Holland is another excellent British thriller with a fantastic narration that deals with a strange disappearance of a baby.

Which character – as performed by Lucy Price-Lewis – was your favorite?

This narrator had to voice two very different female characters and she hit it out of the park. Such a fantastic narration.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I can't pick a favorite moment, because honestly there was never a dull second. But the way the author ties up all the story-lines was so clever.

Well worth the credit! 5 stars!

Like a mix of girl on the train and gone girl

it was a great book. it had a few twists but nothing too shocking. somewhat confusing ending

Tried to like

There were parts of the book that were engaging but characters were very cliched. More significant the topic was too creepy - definition nicely not for expectant or new mothers. Somehow just couldn't like the book.

Can't put it down...

Great story!

We all live with flaws, some big and some small. In this book we are introduced to the main character. Usually, we would be appalled by the actions of Agatha. But through this brilliant story writing we learn to feel through her. We except her flaws, we feel her pain and in the end we morn with her
