Summary
I suppose everyone has their reasons for living here. Who knows what lies behind the pretty curtains and the well-groomed lawns of Mulberry Avenue?
Lucy has a kind and adoring husband, a job she loves as a teacher, and a house on Mulberry Avenue with floaty curtains and the softest bed linen. After her troubled childhood, she knows life will never be perfect, but it’s pretty close.
She’s also got Amber, right next door. They never run out of things to talk about. Even if Amber’s life - with her high-profile job and handsome, wealthy boyfriend - is more glamorous than Lucy’s, they share a down-to-earth sense of humor.
But then Amber starts to hint that her life isn’t all it seems, and when she comes to Lucy, terrified, saying that she’s getting threatening messages, Lucy promises to protect her.
The closer Lucy gets to anyone, the harder it’ll be to keep her past to herself. But Amber doesn’t have anyone else, and Lucy welcomes her into her home.
Lucy knows all too well that people aren’t always what they seem. Sometimes they have secrets. And they’d do anything to keep them. Yet when Amber settles in a little too quickly, Lucy’s still sure: she can trust her friend...can’t she?
Gripping and pause-resisting, All Her Secrets tells a story about the dark side of friendship and has a final twist that will shock every listener. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Friend Request, and Clare Mackintosh.
Reviewers love Sue Watson:
"Tense, atmospheric psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Impeccably written and a big fat 5***** from me. Awesome!" (Number one best-selling author Angela Marsons)
"Gripping tension that builds and builds... I kept thinking I knew where she was going only to be knocked sideways... An absolute page turner of a read that sent my heart racing. Bravo to the new queen of psychological thrillers." (By the Letter Book Reviews, 5 stars)
"Most definitely a book that captures your imagination... A book that I literally did not put down." (Best Crime Books and More, 5 stars)

Listenable But Not Original
I semi enjoyed it but the whole time it reminded me of Adele Parks ‘ I Invited Her In’ - Characters slightly unbelievable in their actions but overall.. a pleasurable ride

Broke my heart, a BEAUTIFUL Mystery Thriller
Definitely recommending. Never expected it to be that good. It made think, resent, cry, and smile. Broke my heart then made it all up with that BRILLIANT unexpected ending. Great narrator.
Love you Sue Watson ❤️👏🏻

A good listen
Apart from a little twist at the end, spoilt by one reviewer (why do people do that?), this was hardly a psychological thriller. It was, though, a good story and easy to listen to, albeit the main character was a little annoying and naive. Well read by Katie Villa.

Good Easy Listening for a crime drama
Maybe a little obvious of a story line down to the very small amount of characters, however does keep you entertained! Overall very happy!

Hard to feel sympathy
unlikable characters who are all so shallow. i wanted to root for someone but i just couldnt. an excellent writer but a few too many empty shelves in the story.

Keeps you wanting more!
It is one of those books which keeps you entertained, wanting to get back to it as soon as you can.
I do wonder whether the author has any real knowledge of the life of a primary teacher, though. I can tell you, as a primary headteacher with 20 years experience, teachers almost never get home at 4pm and almost always have marking to do at home (or stay late at school to do this). I do wish primary teachers were portrayed accurately in fiction!

Slow to get going but great ending
A bit of a slow burner, and a little predictable, but a great ending. I’ll be sure to check out more from this author.
