APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Constantly switching perspective between two very different female characters (both expectant mothers), Michael Robotham ratchets up the tension while keeping you firmly in the hot seat of both characters’ minds. The slow burn of this novel’s early chapters pays off as the action becomes more intense and propulsive and the titular secrets come into play. "Psychological thriller" barely covers it—Robotham presents a devastating dissection of the stories we tell ourselves and others and how dramatically these fictions can break down.

Had me hooked
Great read
Not what you expect
What a refreshing change. I was expecting another murder mystery solved by a tired and less-than-perfect detective. This book is about anything but that. It's about selfish people who have children and turn them into mental cripples. I wanted to murder Agatha's mother!
Great read.
