Publisher Description
From the internationally bestselling author of The Shifting Fog and The Forgotten Garden comes a spellbinding story of mysteries and secrets, theatre and thievery, murder and enduring love.
1961: On a sweltering summer’s day, while her family picnics by the stream on their Suffolk farm, 16-year-old Laurel hides out in her childhood tree house, dreaming of the bright future she can’t wait to seize. But before the idyllic afternoon is over, Laurel will have witnessed a shocking crime that changes everything.
2011: Now a much-loved actress, Laurel finds herself overwhelmed by shades of the past. Haunted by memories and the mystery of what she saw that day, she returns to her family home and begins to piece together a tale of three strangers from vastly different worlds – Dorothy, Vivien and Jimmy – who are thrown together in wartime London and whose lives are fiercely and fatefully entwined.
Shifting between the 1930s, the 1960s and the present, The Secret Keeper is a spellbinding story of mysteries and secrets, theatre and thievery, murder and enduring love.
Customer Reviews
What a thrilling ride!
I expect nothing less from Kate Morton. Her stories are so enjoyable and just when I think (disappointedly) that I’ve figured it all out, she surprises me again. Caroline Lee is absolute perfection as a narrator and really draws me into the world that Kate has spin. What an absolute joy. I did have one question that didn’t seem to be explained in the wrapping of the narrative, but it would be a spoiler for those that haven’t read it. Perhaps I’ll form a book club to discuss it! I simply cannot wait for the next Kate Morton novel.
