Publisher's summary

Tell her all your secrets, and she’ll tell you all her lies....

Everything in Lorna’s life runs like clockwork, from her six a.m. run to the strict 60 minute counselling sessions she gives. It’s the only way she can deal with the terrible secret she carries.

When a new client arrives for his first appointment, Lorna feels her perfect life unravel in a matter of seconds. It’s Andrew, the man she’s spent the last year desperately trying to forget. It seems he can’t forget her either....

Against her better judgment, she anonymously contacts him on a dating site. Messaging him could mean the end of her marriage and her career, but she needs to know if his motives are genuine.

When Andrew is found dead in his home, grief quickly turns to fear when messages from him continue to arrive on Lorna’s phone. Somebody knows her secret and wants to use it to destroy everything she has.

Will she risk her family and her sanity to keep her secret? Will she risk her life?

If you love twisty psychological thrillers that get under your skin, like The Girl on the Train, I Let You Go, or anything by Louise Jensen, you’ll be utterly blown away by the jaw-dropping lies in Tell Me A Secret.

Great Listen!

The storyline was compelling, the performance was outstanding, and I was intrigued from start to finish!

5 star thriller!

For lovers of thriller / suspense books this one will keep you hooked right from start to end!
Narrator did a great job; my only complaint was that she didn't change her voice significantly between the 2 main female characters, so you need to pay attention to who is who.

Oh Damn!

No spoilers...
First off, yes, Lorna is unbearably irritating & repetitive throughout the first several chapters of the book. However, the storyline gets better, and it’s worth it to keep listening. That, and the PARTIALLY predictable ending, prevented me from offering up 5 ⭐️s, but if you’re a psychological thriller fan, this is GOOD! There were so many little 🌪 that maybe I should’ve seen coming, but I definitely didn’t. The climactic finish really did have me like 😮🤯🤩😍.

excellent

true psychological thriller
great writing, narrator matched protagonist, twists to storyline that were fitting yet surprising. intelligent
and for my liking, no gratuitous sex.or violence

way to many twists and turns

this book was good so many twists and turns, I couldn't keep up. but the ending I pretty much guessed. still a good book I may have to relisten and see if I can keep up the 2nd time around.

Doesn't Get Good Until The End

As stated in previous reviews, I did not find this book engaging until the last ~10 chapters and there are a total of 68 chapters. It was very long and drug out with not important details. I hate to say it was boring but I did have to "power through" half of it. The end was really good so the final goal was worth it which is why I give it average ratings. Didn't see the ending coming and after hearing it thought "wow, that was cool".

Jaw-dropping twist!

I never saw that coming! Absolutely brilliant! Will definitely be buying more from Samantha Hayes!

Wow..

This was a real roller coaster ride! Could never have guessed the end. Narrator was excellent!

Wow! And to think I almost returned this one!

It was slow at the start but a terrific read ... so many messages about how guilt & betrayal can destroy you ... then the end ... OMG. Never saw that coming!

Suspense loaded

Just when I thpught I had it figured out, a new twist entered the story. Great suspense right up to the end!
