Publisher's summary

Just what is the mystery behind Raymond O'Connells disappearance? NY Times and USA Today best-selling author Lorhainne Eckhart brings you The Family Secret, an O’Connell family novel, when a body is discovered at the edge of town, rumors, circumstantial evidence, and a chance for revenge lead to one family member’s arrest, and an all out effort to take several other O’Connells down as well.

“Wow what drama, what tension, what suspense.” (Susan Jordens)

“This was a very explosive and heart wrenching story. A body is found and the DA is out for blood. As long as it's O'Connell blood, he doesn't much care whose.” (KEC200)

Raymond O’Connell was the love of Iris’s life - from the day she met him, to the day a year later when she married him, to the tragic night before she never saw him again.

Some would say they had the perfect all-American life. Now, 18 years later, questions arise about the night her husband disappeared, leaving a bloody knife and a letter addressed to her, in which he said goodbye and told her not to look for him, with not even a second thought for her and their six children.

dual narration this time around....

FAMILY SECRET (The O'Connells, #9) . . . Have we finally got to the secret of the O'Connells'. What more could we find out about this family? Where are all these secrets going to leave the O'Connells in the end? What are the next steps? Who will be the first to make them? Raymond O'Connells. Where has he been for eighteen years? Why did he leave his family? Why now?

I am giving you nothing. I am telling you that you will need to jump right in and see for yourself what, when, why, and how the O'Connells family secret comes to light and was dark in the first place.

This time around John is joined by Eileen Smith. Together they bring light to the mystery of Raymond O'Connells and the event from eighteen years ago. With the words from lorhainne Eckhart the story unwinds and fills you mind with all the images as the words flow from our narrators.

Now this is just my observation and opinion, but I highly suggest that you start from the very beginning of this series and follow it all the way through to the end. You get so much more out of the story if you know it all.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Twisted Entertaining Easy-to-read Unpredictable Family oriented Emotional support Family Intrigue

Great Read

The Family Secret (The O'Connells #9) was a great read by Lorhainne Eckhart. Raymond O’Connell was the love of Iris’ life. Now, eighteen years later, there are questions about the night her husband disappeared. This scandal left the community rocked where there are widespread rumors. Iris always kept her head down and kept the secret of what truly happened that night. Her adult children are now asking questions and she enlists the help of her daughter’s husband, a lawyer. The secrets could destroy everything the O’Connells have built for themselves. The truth of who Raymond is could also put a target on them. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
