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.

Dynamic ending

This was a really interesting book. The interplay of the different characters lets you get to know them in depth. It has many twists and turns and one of the most delightfully shocking interesting Conclusion I’ve ever read.

Long but worth the listen!

Lovely performance in a soothing tone. Story is suspenseful yet very believable. My only criticism is that it is very long and sometimes too much detail. Overall I recommend this book!

Delightfully perfect

Katie Morton’s story narrated by Caroline Lee…can’t get better than that! Another delightfully twisty, character-filled story that will leave you guessing right up until the end!

Dodgy narration

Distractingly weird narration when the narrator was apparently trying to do 'accents'. These ranged around the British Isles randomly not only within the same voice /character but within the same sentence: favourites were Scottish, Irish and Mancunian all mixed together depending on the consonant /vowel sound required. I found it hard to get past. The voices in question were from the English Midlands (Coventry). I didn't need an authentic Cov accent (and def didn't get one) and it would've been much better if the narrator stuck with the generic Aussie inflected RP she used for other bits. Story was good!

Secret Kepper is a keeper!

I listen to audio books while I run and I always hated to finish my loop and get on with the day.
katie Moran wove history, romance and suspense into one incredible read. I would find myself becoming upset when the characters were facing such strife.
Thank you Katie. I will be sure to check out your other novels.
Oh, and I love Caroline Lee as the narrator. An excellent reader makes all the difference.

Good - 2 hrs too long

This was a good story about love, loss and second chances. An interesting historical drama with a little mystery and love. I would’ve liked this book to be 2 hours shorter as I felt that some parts were not necessary and didn’t necessarily add to the overall plot of the story. The ending was great and quite a nice twist!
