In her spectacular debut novel, Are Secrets Were Safe, Virginia Trench crafts a psychological maze that leaves the reader on the edge of their seat. The novel focuses on three strong women protagonists, Sofia, Caroline and Brooke who need/must keep their secrets from college safe. Ms. Trench's writing style is gripping, with great development of characters, references to literature and art and suspense throughout. She use the "now -then" mode of writing and brief chapters to keep their suspense alive. She explores character identity, trust issues and personality flaws masterfully.
Are Secrets Were Safe was a terrific debut novel. I rank her book with the books of my favorite authors such as Gillian Flynn and Lisa Jewell. I very much look forward to her second novel to be released next year.

No Clean Hands

Extraordinarily gripping story where no one has clean hands. Once the reader gets used to the time shifting, the story unfolds with enough twists & turns, any Christie or LaCarre fan will be intrigued!

A thriller for people who love thrillers!

This is a fantastic book. Twisted. Dark. Fast-Paced. It’s like Luckiest Girl Alive, but even better. The voice acting was astonishingly good as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t stop listening!

The characters draw you in from the beginning!

I love that every character had aspects that were completely relatable. No one is entirely good or bad.
