She hires a PI to pick up where the police left off, but instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life.

Little Secrets

I am always drawn to intrigue & suspense in a book or movie. This story has very Big little secrets. The narrator becomes each person who is talking or commenting through the book. I’m a non-fiction reader. I’m easily bored with unnecessary detail . Narrator had me hooked even while describing the way someone would pour coffee. Loved it!!

Kept Me Wanting More, Narration Could Be Better

Little Secrets is quite an entertaining read. I found myself wanting to listen to it whenever I had a chance. I listened to it in a day and a half, and found it to be provocative and thrilling.

A mom looks away for all of ten seconds to find her son has gone missing. She lives in a world of devastation and hope, and she goes to groups for parents of missing children to seek solace. In the meantime, her husband decides to have an affair with a much younger woman. This doesn't sit well for a mother who's young child is missing, and the other woman is going to get a lot more than she's bargained for.

The narration for Little Secrets could have been better. The reader botches some fairly regular words and it got to be a bit annoying, but nothing that really took away from the story itself. I would recommend this to people who like a good, fast paced psychological thriller.

Yeehaw!!

At the beginning of the novel, I pegged the guilty, but I never predicted the ending. This book? SO. MUCH. FUN!

Good Read

I very much enjoyed this book and although I figured out part of then ending, there were still a few surprises. The only thing I didn’t like and felt gratuitous was the graphic sex description. Could have left it out entirely and not affected the flow of the book at all. Other than that it was great!

WOW

Really good. Great narration. Gripping story. Hard to listen to at times if you have kids. Good book.
