BOOK REVIEW - THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS, Michael Robotham

If you’ve read any books at all by this author, picking this title up will be a no-brainer.  They are all consistently written at a higher quality than their market peers. Author Michael Robotham proves his versatility once again and writes with assurance about the intense world of female relationships and in particular, of the point at which women are at their most vulnerable.   Nothing is overplayed and it’s a subtle hand that deals out the enormities of loss, betrayal, deception and entitlement.   It’s a win for readers that Robotham has written a female centric novel of this kind as it will lift the writing bar for those that will follow.  

THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS is a compelling dramatic thriller that delicately balances the humanity of the two women with the consequences of their shocking actions.  It was very difficult to re-emerge from the world of this book as was written to be so very immersive. The reader will take on the ache of both mothers in their predicaments that are so similar and yet at such odds for each to resolve.

You’ll knock this novel off in one or two sittings so book yourself in for a solid enjoyable read as soon as you can!
