Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Did I enjoy this book? Overall, yes, I did enjoy this read. It kept me reading until the very end.

Our Little Secret is told by Angela in a police interrogation room after her ex’s wife goes missing. The book is the story she gives to the police, which takes the reader back to when she first met Mr. Parker (HP), and their relationship through to the present day.

For me, it was a different way to read a story. It wasn’t as if I was watching the story as it unfolded; rather, I was learning about it after the fact and how it related to the incident at hand. Although I didn’t like Angela all that much, her story kept me interested. I did like how she would talk to Novak during her narration, to be sure he was keeping up with her story. There were a few times where I was getting impatient with Angela, wanting her to get to the point, but I had to keep reading. I wasn’t sure how the story was going to end. I had quite a few theories as I read the book. I was and wasn’t surprised by the ending. I won’t say more than that because I don’t want to give anything away, but it was worth the read.

 

 

Would I recommend it? I would.

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: THE TOP TEN INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE YOU CAN’T MISS…

“A cracking read…Our Little Secret builds to a deliciously dark conclusion.” –Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10

Roz Nay’s Our Little Secret is a twisted tale of love, pain, and revenge that will stay with the reader long after they turn the last page.

They say you never forget your first love. What they don’t say though, is that sometimes your first love won’t forget you…

A police interview room is the last place Angela expected to find herself today. It’s been hours, and they keep asking her the same inane questions over and over. “How do you know the victim?” “What’s your relationship with Mr. Parker?” Her ex’s wife has gone missing, and anyone who was close to the couple is a suspect. Angela is tired of the bottomless questions and tired of the cold room that stays the same while a rotating litany of interrogators changes shifts around her. But when criminologist Novak takes over, she can tell he’s not like the others. He’s ready to listen, and she knows he’ll understand. When she tells him that her story begins a decade before, long before Saskia was in the picture, he gives her the floor.

A twenty-something young professional, Angela claims to have no involvement. How could she? It’s been years since she and H.P., Mr. Parker that is, were together. As her story unfolds, it deepens and darkens. There’s a lot to unpack… betrayal, jealousy, and a group of people who all have motives for retribution. If Angela is telling the truth, then who’s lying?
