Publisher's summary

England, 1959: Laurel Nicolson is 16 years old, dreaming alone in her childhood tree house during a family celebration at their home, Green Acres Farm. She spies a stranger coming up the long road to the farm and then observes her mother, Dorothy, speaking to him. And then she witnesses a crime.

Fifty years later, Laurel is a successful and well-regarded actress, living in London. She returns to Green Acres for Dorothy’s 90th birthday and finds herself overwhelmed by memories and questions she has not thought about for decades. She decides to find out the truth about the events of that summer day and lay to rest her own feelings of guilt. One photograph, of her mother and a woman Laurel has never met, called Vivian, is her first clue.

The Secret Keeper explores longings and dreams, the lengths some people go to fulfill them, and the strange consequences they sometimes have. It is a story of lovers, friends, dreamers and schemers, play-acting, and deception told against a backdrop of events that changed the world.

Secrets ti!! the end

A long read which makes it perfect for a very long car ride or plane trip. I was always entertained and looked forward to listening to more. I thought I had the ending figured out but there were secrets right up till the end

Kate Morton is on par with Agatha Christie

If you could sum up The Secret Keeper in three words, what would they be?

You can't guess! I have loved everyone of Ms Mortons books all have surprised and all leave me with a tear in my eye. She is on par with the style of Agatha Christie

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Keeper?

The twist

What does Caroline Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent narration, there are no flaws

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Its emotive, it evokes a time that is unforgettable

Any additional comments?

Kate Morton is one of the best writers in the genre. Her books are absolutely mesmerising. The only other writer i can compare her with is Katherine Neville.

You will be transported in a way that seldom happens. This is not chick lit this is true thriller stuff. Hercules Poiret

The Secret Keeper

I discovered Kate Morton just this year and this is the last of her books - I have listened to them all and enjoyed every one. This one and the Clockmaker’s Daughter are my favorites. Everything about them is pleasant and so enjoyable.

Another great Kate Morton story

There were so many twists and turns in this story, every time I thought I had it figured out, I soon found I didn't!
