About this listen

Secret Smile is a gripping psychological thriller from the top-ten bestselling author Nicci French.

You have an affair. You finish it. You think it's over. You're dead wrong....

Miranda Cotton thinks she's put boyfriend Brendan out of her life for good. But two weeks later, he's intimately involved with her sister. Soon what began as an embarrassment becomes threatening - then even more terrifying than a girl's worst nightmare. Because this time Brendan will stop at nothing to be part of Miranda's life - even if it means taking it from her ....

Nicci French is the pseudonym for Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. The couple live in Suffolk and have written thirteen other best-selling novels, all published by Penguin: Complicit, What to Do When Someone Dies, Until It's Over, Losing You, Catch Me When I Fall, The Memory Game, Beneath the Skin, The Safe House, The Red Room, Land of the Living, Killing Me Softly, and, most recently, Blue Monday and Tuesday's Gone in the brilliant new Frieda Klein series.

Critic reviews

"Creepy, genuinely gripping." ( Heat)
All stars

Initially was very frustrated by the story line but found this to be a compelling listen .

Becomes less frustrating as the story develops.

Good listen for those who like psychological thrillers.

Compelling

It was irritating how
1. The heroine was never believed even though everyone around her was dying
2. The policeman was even more irritating to the point of being unrealistic
3. She continued to put herself in stupid situations
4. The denouement was an anti climax. Without giving too much away - it’s perverting the course of justice

Rather irritating!

I found the waiting for facts a bit distracting , as was the moving from one area of the plot to another.

Suspense
