He’d do anything to protect his wife. But what if that meant making the biggest mistake of all?

James Casper is one of the good guys. A DEA agent. A loyal husband. With his sights set on the man at the top of the city’s opioid crisis, James is about to make the biggest bust of his career.

Then his beloved wife Rosie does something terrible, and James must choose: Report it - or help her. He knows how this works, and he tells himself he’s smart enough to get away with murder. But James’ worst enemy knows what they have done - and he won’t hesitate to use it to manipulate him.

James is dragged into a dark and dangerous world. As events spiral and loyalties are tested, he realizes there’s only one way out. And that is to be even more ruthless than the people he’s working for.

Whatever happens, no matter how far he falls, at least he’ll still have Rosie.

Won’t he?

It was slow at the beginning for me but the entire book is non stop once you get thru the first maybe 40 mins.

I would have liked more in the end but i do admire when a writer can write a story on the reader being able to end a book based on their own take on it.

good book

Never, EVER say what you wouldn't do because life has a tendency to turn you into a liar. James can certainly attest to that. He loves his wife more than anything in the world and there isn't a thing he wouldn't do for her.

This book captures your attention from the very beginning and takes you on a fast-paced ride. You won't want to put it down as you follow one bad decision after another as James puts has lifes and career in jeopardy to "Protect Rosie".

A GRIPPING DOMINO EFFECT!!!

“All Our Darkest Secrets” by Martyn Ford is a crazy romp of a thriller. James Casper, a DEA agent, is the narrator, and from the start, one knows that James is leading one crazy life. Yes, a life as a DEA agent must be full of murder, intrigue, and duplicitous behavior, and James is living the life.

James’s childhood best friend, Matt, died of an opioid overdose, and James has never gotten over that death. He chose to work for the DEA as a response to Matt’s death. He’s about to bust the biggest opioid dealer when his wife Rosie commits a crime that James has deal with. Rosie is Matt’s sister, who James grew up with. When Matt died, he left a suicide note ending with “take care of Rosie”.

The story is told through James’s lens. He’s about to make this big career building bust, and he needs to decide if he helps Rosie or not. James has many flashbacks while telling his story, and we learn of James’s early childhood and teen years. He basically grew up in the same home as Matt and Rosie, with Rosie being their senior. James was 8 when he met Rosie, aged 10. As James enlightens the reader, it is difficult to NOT think something is awry with Rosie.

I figured out how this was going to end, but not how it would be played out. The “thriller” part of the story is the crazy way that author Martyn Ford decided to tie everything together. The plot is full of twists, which are impossible to predict. The pace is fast (and sometimes very funny), with the backstory to slow the adrenaline. All the characters are entertaining. I listened to the audio, narrated by Kevin Collins. I enjoyed listening to the story. I’ve read a few reviews that note profanity, which usually turns me off, but I didn’t find it off-putting as it seemed to fit in the dialogue. In fact, I think this is a story that begs to be heard. It’s so over-the-top at times, as one expects the life of a DEA agent to be. There have been references to “Breaking Bad” which I never watched. I could see this being turned into a movie.

This is a solid thriller with crazy elements, even for a thriller. I enjoyed the audio.


Crazy thriller

Great story line narration was top notch and it kept me on the edge of my seat; biting my nails one minute and wanting to yell “NO!” at the main character the next!

Dark story with an ‘I didn’t see that coming’ ending!
