Story
What happens when the girl next door becomes ‘that girl off the telly.’ There are some things in life you can always rely on. Living in the shadow of your ‘perfect’ brother Joey, getting the flu over Christmas, and your Mother showing you up in the supermarket. Then there are some things you really don’t count on happening: a good dose of fame, getting completely trashed at an awards ceremony, and catching your fella doing something unmentionable on your wedding day.

Dan's life has fallen apart at the seams. He's lost his house and his job, and now he's going to lose his family, too. All he's ever wanted is to keep them together, but is everything beyond repair? Maria is drowning in grief. She spends her days writing letters that will never be answered. Nights are spent trying to hold terrible memories at bay, to escape the pain that threatens to engulf her. Jack wakes up confused and alone. He doesn't know who he is, how he got there, or why he finds himself on a deserted clifftop, but will piecing together the past leave him a broken man?

Story
On the first day of her new job, Harris is called to the scene of a brutal murder at the heart of Surrey society. A shocking crime, with a meticulous killer: the victim’s eyes have been removed and the body drained of blood, with no forensic evidence left at the scene. Her boss insists it must be the return of a killer who escaped justice several years ago, leaving a trail of bloody ritualistic killings. Harris isn’t so sure: both sets of victims have had their eyes removed, but other details are significantly different.

1990: Holly is a fresher student at Oxford University. Out of her depth and nervous about her surroundings, she falls into an uneasy friendship with a group of older students from the upper echelons of society and begins to develop feelings for one in particular. He’s confident, quiet, attractive and seems to like her, too. But as the year progresses, her friends’ behaviour grows steadily more disconcerting, and Holly begins to realise she might just be a disposable pawn in a very sinister game.

Story
A teenager stares at his reflection and sees the Milky Way. A motorbike prowls and growls like a wild animal. A whale sings a song to end loneliness. Philip Ridley's collection of short stories became an instant cult classic when first published in 1990. Magical, poetic, heartbreaking, and humorous, the sequence explores childhood, family life, romantic love in all its aspects - lost, unrequited, obsessional - and does so with a haunting mixture of both the barbaric and the beautiful. This edition includes two new stories, "Alien Heart" and "Wonderful Insect".

Summary
It's hard being that woman, the one whose husband disappeared. He went out five years ago for a pint of milk and never came back. So here I am with a daughter who blames me for everything, a son trying his best to pick up the pieces and a gaggle of neighbours who are incredibly nosy. Then I find a left luggage ticket in the pocket of one of his old coats and suddenly I'm thinking... What if he's not dead? What if he's still out there somewhere?

The Perfect Book For Me
This book comes to life through the brilliance of the narrators. I have never heard better. The story was intricate but (to me) utterly believable, I am totally in awe of its inventor and eager to read more by him. The characters will never leave me and I will forever wonder what became of them.

A Great Listen
Was not to sure when I first started listening, however turned out to be a good book to listen to whilst driving. a bit of everything in there. I was a bit disappointed with the ending which appeared to be cut short, unless of course there is going to be a sequel. All in all really enjoyed the audio book.

What would have made The Secrets We Keep better?
more of a real story line
What could Jonathan Harvey have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
If it did not go on in detail on things that did not develope the storyline. The characters were not likable and in the end |I gave up as it just got boring
What three words best describe Gareth Bennett-Ryan and Emma Gregory ’s voice?
Irritating and annoying
