Publisher's summary

A family built on lies…

A dark and twisty psychological thriller, in which a young girl is abducted and her family is confronted with a horror from deep in their past. Perfect for fans of BA Paris and Sue Fortin.

A young girl has been taken. Abducted, never to be seen again.

Joe and Hannah, her traumatized parents, are consumed by grief. But all is not as it seems behind the curtains of their suburban home.

Loretta, the Family Liaison Officer, is sure Hannah is hiding something – a dark and twisted secret from deep in her past.

This terrible memory could be the key to the murder of another girl fifteen years ago. And as links between the two victims emerge, Joe and Hannah learn that in a family built on lies, the truth can destroy everything…

Narrator Tamsin Kennard is brilliant!

I was gripped by Chris Curran’s “Her Deadly Secret.” An intricate thriller that, at first, kept my attention. Tamsin Kennard's narrative skills are, as always, exquisite and perfection. (I’m proud to say I have compiled quite a vast collection of Kennard-narrated books.) What started out as a dark and twisty thriller focusing on a family tragedy turned into a complicated story. In my opinion, “Her Deadly Secret” came to an abrupt stop and I just didn’t care anymore. It continued in circles with so much confusion and whining, I was lost and ended up at the intersection of Bewilderment and Perplexity and there I remained. I do have to say the ending was quite the shocker.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
