Publisher's summary

The trouble with secrets is that they never stay secret for long....

Annie Howarth is living an anxious life in an anxious town. Her mining community in South Yorkshire is feeling the pinch, and tensions are running high. Then a murdered girl is found on the moors and the agitation in the community is pushed to a dangerous breaking point.

As the wife of the chief of police, Annie should feel safe - her husband, William, can be secretive, but she’s sure whatever he's hiding is for her own good, isn’t it?

But Annie is keeping her own secrets. Ten years ago, the man she loved was ripped from her life in a scandal that still haunts them both, and now his return will put her family, her marriage, even her life at risk.

Best-selling author of House by the Sea Louise Douglas returns with a heart-racing novel full of suspense, desire and desperate secrets. Perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal, Lucinda Riley and Rachel Hore.

Disappointing

This one seemed rushed to me, as if the author just threw some words down on paper to meet a deadline. The story and characters could have been fleshed out a lot more, and the ending was extremely abrupt and left a lot to be desired. The worst part was that this book was more about the battle between the miners & the police; the murders were secondary.

*SPOILER ALERT*
The real villains never even got punished for their crimes, and there was no happily ever after to redeem the rest of this drivel.

I'm very disappointed because I was really starting to enjoy this author. If this is your first Louise Douglas novel, skip it and start with something else first. I recommend The Secret by the Lake.

I am clueless to the ending in her books

Louise is a phenomenal story teller, she keeps me ensconsed in the story. This book is worth buying and listening

A waste of time

Cliffhanger ending, tedious and repetitive dialogue including mental. With a simple plot easily unraveled in the beginning and a protagonist whose life is still in the 90’s. Not very interesting but the narrator did a good job.
