Publisher's summary

I suppose everyone has their reasons for living here. Who knows what lies behind the pretty curtains and the well-groomed lawns of Mulberry Avenue?

Lucy has a kind and adoring husband, a job she loves as a teacher, and a house on Mulberry Avenue with floaty curtains and the softest bed linen. After her troubled childhood, she knows life will never be perfect, but it’s pretty close.

She’s also got Amber, right next door. They never run out of things to talk about. Even if Amber’s life - with her high-profile job and handsome, wealthy boyfriend - is more glamorous than Lucy’s, they share a down-to-earth sense of humor.

But then Amber starts to hint that her life isn’t all it seems, and when she comes to Lucy, terrified, saying that she’s getting threatening messages, Lucy promises to protect her.

The closer Lucy gets to anyone, the harder it’ll be to keep her past to herself. But Amber doesn’t have anyone else, and Lucy welcomes her into her home.

Lucy knows all too well that people aren’t always what they seem. Sometimes they have secrets. And they’d do anything to keep them. Yet when Amber settles in a little too quickly, Lucy’s still sure: she can trust her friend...can’t she?

Gripping and pause-resisting, All Her Secrets tells a story about the dark side of friendship and has a final twist that will shock every listener. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Friend Request, and Clare Mackintosh.

Reviewers love Sue Watson:

"Tense, atmospheric psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Impeccably written and a big fat 5***** from me. Awesome!" (Number one best-selling author Angela Marsons)

"Gripping tension that builds and builds... I kept thinking I knew where she was going only to be knocked sideways... An absolute page turner of a read that sent my heart racing. Bravo to the new queen of psychological thrillers." (By the Letter Book Reviews, 5 stars)

"Most definitely a book that captures your imagination... A book that I literally did not put down." (Best Crime Books and More, 5 stars)

Meh

The story goes along, plot is very predictable so the title of it being a “psychological thriller” is laughable. The book leads up to a major event and it just skips past all details and is really vague, it was anti climactic to say the least.

Sue Watson & the Narrator has a BEST EVER again!!!

Absolutely the BEST!!! The storyline kept me totally entranced so much so that I would sit in my car when returning home & couldn't leave and go in!! I couldn't put it down!! The narrator was AWESOME!! Only bad thing I can write is that Sue Watson doesn't have enough books written to keep me going for years. ANOTHER winner!!!

5 stars thriller

This book kept me so busy I couldnt get anything done around the house. I kept thinking about the ending and how the author gave us many clues but still was so shocked by the ending.

Predictable, but good

I figured it out pretty early on but I still enjoyed the story. Narrators can make or break a story for me and this Narrator was great.

Predictable and annoying

The characters are overdone and unrealistic. Listening to them be such idiots and terrible people was hard.

No, you won’t figure out this one

The surprise ending they read you with is for real. I thought I had it figured out half way through and almost got bored and then, slowly, things started to change. This one is a crazy ride until the very end. And, the end is satisfying.
