Publisher's summary

Everyone has a secret. For some, it's worth dying to protect. For others, it's worth killing.

The glass beach house was supposed to be the getaway that Susan needed. Eager to help her transplanted family set down roots in their new town - and desperate for some kid-free conversation - she invites her new neighbors to join in on a week-long sublet with her and her workaholic husband.

Over the course of the first evening, liquor loosens inhibitions and lips. The three couples begin picking up on the others' marital tensions and work frustrations, as well as revealing their own. But someone says too much. And the next morning one of the women is discovered dead on the private beach.

Town detective Gabby Watkins must figure out who permanently silenced the deceased. As she investigates, she learns that everyone in the glass house was hiding something that could tie them to the murder, and that the biggest secrets of all are often in plain sight for anyone willing to look.

A taut, locked-room mystery with an unforgettable cast of characters, One Little Secret promises to keep listeners addicted and debating the blinders that we all put on in the service of politeness.

Great story, great performance

Such a sad story about love, abuse and betrayal. There were moments I could barely stop tears.

Bad male falsettos

The reading of the women characters was very good, but I had a problem with the “male” voices by the narrator.
The story was good but not very exciting, and fairly predictable.

Lots of characters try to keep up

Great storyline. About 6 different situations right upfront. Usually I rewind to understand who is who but I decided not to this time. I felt the storyline was simple enough to figure it out; it was. The ending is very interesting.
Was there another way to get out?
Fear can plays a big part in your decisions.

Struggling to get through this

The story seems good but the narration is robotic. It is difficult to stay engaged.

Terrible Narration

The story is pretty far fetched but ok. There are a lot of unbelievable leaps made by the detective and most of the characters are super annoying but it’s not as bad as the narration. The narrator sounds like a robot. There are some point me in the story where it is at as bad but the majority of the story sounds like it’s being pieced together by a computer voice. Would have been really annoyed if I paid for it but it was included so I am giving it a little bit of a pass.

This was a story that was ok to listen to. The reader read well. Seems to be the same story as many others.

Slow start, but worth it

It took me a minute to get into it, but about halfway I couldn't stop!
