Amber Patterson is fed up. She's tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more - a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne - a socialite and philanthropist - and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber's envy could eat her alive...if she didn't have a plan.

Publisher's Summary
The life she wanted wasn't hers....
The compelling new psychological thriller that will break your heart into tiny pieces, from world-renowned author Michael Robotham.
Everyone has an idea of what their perfect life is. For Agatha, it's Meghan Shaughnessy's. These two women from vastly different backgrounds have one thing in common - a dangerous secret that could destroy everything they hold dear. Both will risk everything to hide the truth, but their worlds are about to collide in a shocking act that cannot be undone.
The Secrets She Keeps is a compelling psychological thriller that delves deeply into the psyche of the human mind, by internationally best-selling author Michael Robotham.
Critic Reviews
"Will have you turning the pages compulsively." ( The Times)
"Robotham doesn't just make me scared for his characters, he makes my heart ache for them." (Linwood Barclay)
"Superbly exciting...a terrific read." ( Guardian)
" Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end. Robotham is an absolute master." (Stephen King)

Suspenseful Family Drama
A suspenseful family drama about motherhood, paternity, families, infidelity, abuse, and mental illness. The secrets she keeps is the story of two women whose lives come into contact with devastating consequences. It was well plotted and well written with engaging characters, although the women seemed too complex and unstable, while the men too gullible and easily manipulared. It reminded me of other similar themed novels I've read recently. It's told from two points of view. Especially for lovers of psychological thrillers. The profiler was my favourite character. I loved the dramatic reading.

*HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT*
I love Michael Robotham. But, I've finished up feeling very flat. I'm not a fan of books where the characters are speaking for themselves.
Aside from that, the storyline was very boring and I've fast forwarded through half of it. But listening to the end. It got better about four hours from the end.
The narrator, Lucy Price-Lewis is okay for a woman narrator. Says things as they are and doesn't use the soft feely nicey tone of voice as most women do.
Would I spend the money if I knew it was written like this - no.

Really enjoyed this. Yes it starts as a domestic drama but quickly starts to build into an excellent thriller told from 2 different perspectives. Different type of book for this author but very well written. Don't be put off by the negative reviews, it was a gripping story.

Very different story from Robotham!
Such an interesting story, told from two people's points of view, both women. Quite a change from the mournful Joseph O'Loughlin stories, which, frankly, are becoming full of self-pity and verging on the annoying.
It's a very good stab at seeing the world from a female perspective and extremely well narrated. My only reservation is that the author seems to believe in the Superwoman myth, e.g., that a women who has had major stomach surgery (a C-section) can clamber over a wall a few days later!
Never mind, I really enjoyed the psychological cat and mouse game and was gripped by the twists and turns of the plot. Recommended!

Gripping psychological thriller
This book is one of Michael Robotham's best, full of suspense and hard to put down. It is well written with excellent characterisations and superbly read by Lucy Price-Lewis. I loved it!

Loved it
Listened to it on my commute everyday and just couldn't wait to finish work and listen more. Really great story, page turner! The reader was excellent, very easy listening.

Enjoyable but....
This is such a change of genre for this author that I actually found myself wondering if he really wrote it!
It is a good story and beautifully written characters whom I could not help but feel empathy towards.
However there are some inaccuracies to do with pregnancy and birth which I feel there is really no excuse for these days...not exactly difficult to research!
On the whole I enjoyed this but really hope that the author brings us more Joe O'Loughlin instead! Stick to what you're brilliant at 😉

Where has Michael Robothom gone?
Ok I get it that the Psychologist character is finished having read all the previous books. But really a male writer trying to occupy the intimate thoughts of women really failed. A very disappointing story

great book. reader was a little annoying.
good read but predictable. some parts were sad and a little far fetched but over all a well written novel. reader read for the two main characters. would have been better with two readers

Best pick.
Wow. This is the first book I have come across by Michael robotham. I read and listen to books all the time and this would certainly be in my top 5 now. Never before have I had such empathy with a villen that I am nearly willing her on during a crucial part of the plot because I can feel her anguish and need as her character has been masterfully built throughout the story.
Lucy price-lewis reads in a beautiful captivating voice that I could listen to all day which really finishes off the jewel of this novel.

Spoiler alert!
I enjoyed this book, but a few details got to me. Michael has obviously never had a cesarean and it bugged me that Meg was up and going for a shower only hours after having surgery and scaling walls a week or so later. Mmm, not likely. It was also a bit much that all the babies had formula feeding issues. I found it particularly hard to swallow Emily’s death, since she was already 3 months old. Nobody can be that unlucky. If he wrote that Aggie panicked and smothered her or hid her somewhere and something happened, I could have bought it. Non the less, it was a good read and I wanted to know what happened next.

Very different to anything else I have listened to.
This book is on that makes you think once the final chapter ends. A very original well thought out book. It was sad so you may need a tissue or two ! Worth giving it a listen :)
