THE SECRET KEEPER
That “The Secret Keeper” by Kate Morton is a hit is not a secret. When I first read the preview of the book, I was not interested in the least. Overall, the story sounded strange and uninteresting. Fortunately for me, I only had judged this book by the cover, and it was nice to be surprised. The book is set in England in the 1960s and is a mystery of sorts. The story is told from the perspective of the main character, 16 -year-old Laurel, who witnesses something she was never meant to see. The twists and turns in the plot kept me on the edge of my seat through the entire novel. I was hooked after just reading the prologue. The story only continued to improve as it progressed. Normally, I do not find much interest in mystery stories such as this one, but this is most definitely an exception. I certainly recommend this novel. With a plot as intriguing as this one, this book should not be a kept secret.
