Product Description
1961: On a sweltering summer's day, while her family picnics by the stream on their Suffolk farm, sixteen-year-old Laurel hides out in her childhood tree house dreaming of a boy called Billy, a move to London, and the bright future she can't wait to seize. But before the idyllic afternoon is over, Laurel will have witnessed a shocking crime that changes everything.

2011: Now a much-loved actress, Laurel finds herself overwhelmed by shades of the past. Haunted by memories, and the mystery of what she saw that day, she returns to her family home and begins to piece together a secret history. A tale of three strangers from vastly different worlds - Dorothy, Vivien and Jimmy - who are brought together by chance in wartime London and whose lives become fiercely and fatefully entwined.

Shifting between the 1930s, the 1960s and the present, The Secret Keeper is a spellbinding story of mysteries and secrets, theatre and thievery, murder and enduring love.

This is a wishlist book for Plum-Crazy. Enjoy!

Thanks so much Beqi for this wishlist book & it was great to finally meet you this weekend, hope you had as much fun as I did ;o)

I've read all Kate Morton's book's & this follows the same tried & tested format of the previous three. However, that is in no way a criticism. Based on the other books I was expecting a gripping tale that moves over the decades, a family mystery being discovered - & of course solved - & of how sometimes a very small action can be misinterpreted & consequently have huge repercussions....& that's just what I got! So no disappointments as it lived up to expectations & was a great read that honestly was hard to put down (which did mean I lost track of time easily & as I was sat out enjoying this rare but beautiful sunshine have ended up with a touch of sunburn. I never learn....)

Thanks Beqi & hope to see you in Oxford x

Sending off as part of a package for the UK Wish list tag game - although it's not actually a wishlist book! To make up for that it's got dressed up ;-)

This has been coming up on my amazon recommendations for ages, so again, a great choice for me, many thanks Plum-crazy! And hi to Beci too, thanks for sharing.

Loved this book, but it sat on my shelves for far too long before I read it, so releasing it quickly to try to find another reader soon!
