Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life: a beautiful wife, a loving daughter, and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only one loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient - and the biggest lie of his life.

Seven million dollars has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money is.

Women are rarely cold-blooded killers. But when famous philanthropist Hugo Fletcher is found dead, there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the killer is a woman. And it is clear from the precision of the planning that this was no crime of passion. It was an execution. The victim was revered the world over for his charitable work with trafficked Eastern European prostitutes, and as at least one of these girls is missing, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is certain that there has to be a connection.

Hated it
- By Miss N. Bleakley-wadlow on 05-02-17
Summary
The heart-racing psychological thriller that will break your heart into tiny pieces, from world-renowned author Michael Robotham.
Now a major television series starring Laura Carmichael.
This edition includes an exclusive bonus interview with Michael Robotham about the making of the hit TV adaptation.
Everyone has an idea of what their perfect life is. For Agatha, it's Meghan Shaughnessy's.
These two women from vastly different backgrounds have one thing in common - a dangerous secret that could destroy everything they hold dear.
Both will risk everything to hide the truth, but their worlds are about to collide in a shocking act that cannot be undone.
Critic reviews
"Two terrific female characters, both with secrets. Add Michael Robotham's clean prose and whipcrack pacing. The result? A book you won't be able to put down, although you may occasionally want to hide your eyes" (Stephen King)
"Robotham doesn't just make me scared for his characters, he makes my heart ache for them." (Linwood Barclay)
"Superbly exciting...." (Guardian)

Brilliant book
Would you consider the audio edition of The Secrets She Keeps to be better than the print version?
Haven't read the print version.
What other book might you compare The Secrets She Keeps to, and why?
I think it's in a niche of its own because it explores many different issues - fertility, families, abuse, mental health issues etc.
What about Lucy Price-Lewis’s performance did you like?
I though she read clearly and adopted accurate accents for the different characters in the book and she made it easy to distinguish which character was speaking.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have done if I'd had the time!
Any additional comments?
I rarely leave a review but felt I had to for this book as I enjoyed it so much. The various issues explored were covered sensitively yet you were able to appreciate the problems suffered by the main characters. I haven't read any of the author's other books but I'll certainly be giving them a try. Highly recommended.

Very different story from Robotham!
Such an interesting story, told from two people's points of view, both women. Quite a change from the mournful Joseph O'Loughlin stories, which, frankly, are becoming full of self-pity and verging on the annoying.
It's a very good stab at seeing the world from a female perspective and extremely well narrated. My only reservation is that the author seems to believe in the Superwoman myth, e.g., that a women who has had major stomach surgery (a C-section) can clamber over a wall a few days later!
Never mind, I really enjoyed the psychological cat and mouse game and was gripped by the twists and turns of the plot. Recommended!

Suspenseful Family Drama
A suspenseful family drama about motherhood, paternity, families, infidelity, abuse, and mental illness. The secrets she keeps is the story of two women whose lives come into contact with devastating consequences. It was well plotted and well written with engaging characters, although the women seemed too complex and unstable, while the men too gullible and easily manipulared. It reminded me of other similar themed novels I've read recently. It's told from two points of view. Especially for lovers of psychological thrillers. The profiler was my favourite character. I loved the dramatic reading.

*HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT*
I love Michael Robotham. But, I've finished up feeling very flat. I'm not a fan of books where the characters are speaking for themselves.
Aside from that, the storyline was very boring and I've fast forwarded through half of it. But listening to the end. It got better about four hours from the end.
The narrator, Lucy Price-Lewis is okay for a woman narrator. Says things as they are and doesn't use the soft feely nicey tone of voice as most women do.
Would I spend the money if I knew it was written like this - no.
