Acton reviewed The secret keeper by Kate Morton
Review of 'The secret keeper' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Laurel is living a happy, typical teenaged existence until she witnesses something violent and mysterious. The trauma stays in the back of her mind until she is much older, when she becomes desperate to unlock the mysteries of her mother's past. Who was Dorothy Nicholson before she became Mum?
Kate Morton has actually written two connected novels here--one that follows the lives of three people during the tumultuous days of WWII in London, the other following Laurel's detective work in the present day.
The plot is fascinating and kept me guessing until the very end, one that I had to stay up past my bedtime to finish because I couldn't not do that. And it's impossible to not care for these characters. I'd highly recommend this.
