The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a page-turner! And the slow-burn reveals of deceptions and inner demons were so wonderfully peeled away that I hesitate to say too much about the plot, so I’ll keep it simple: what we know when the book begins is the two alternating narrators, Agatha and Meg, are both pregnant. Agatha’s baby’s father is in the Navy and deployed; Meg seems to have an ideal life, married to an up-and-coming sports broadcaster with two young children and a lovely home. The initial pages suggest they are friends: Agatha, from within the grocery where she is employed, and pregnant, watches Meg through the glass. She knows Meg’s name. She knows she’s come from yoga. She knows the names of Meg’s children. But Agatha doesn’t actually know her, we quickly learn. How has she come to learn so much about her, how and why will their lives cross and crash together, and what are the secrets hinted at by the title of this London-set thriller? Read it and find out! I burned through this book, and thoroughly enjoyed it!
