The Secret She Kept

Elizabeth Neill

I finished this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. It had me hooked from page one and the twist kept me going. I can say I didn't guess the ending like I have with other thrillers . J.S. Ellis kept me guessing which I loved very much. The writing was easy to follow and it flowed very well. I really be picking up Ellis other books now and going out to tell my friends they need to read this book.

Since his best friend, Lottie, was murdered, Anthony's life has been consumed by grief. All he has left of her is a laptop, which he wasn't turned in to the police... Yet. He can't, he has to find out who killed her first. But is he really ready to? Can he handle the truth? Is Davian, his childhood friend, somehow involved? Could he be the killer?

I must say, if not for my exams, I would have finished this book in a single sitting.
There were so many questions I wanted answered from the very beginning of the book. The
entirety of the story spins around lies, deceit and wild guesses. Our protagonist struggles to
find a shred of truth behind mountains of lies and his heart is pulled to two opposite directions
the whole time.
I liked the way the story unfolded, part of it from the protagonists POV and the rest from Lottie's video recordings. I had never thought I'd enjoyed it this much but this "mixed media" form of
storytelling definitely added layers to the story. Although I saw the end coming a little after the middle of the book, a single detail made all the difference.
The story deals with obsession and the worst part of a human's nature, revenge. The author
used her craft to blur the fine line between devastation and madness and the reader can feel
the heaviness of the situation and the agony as they proceed to the next chapter. I loved the
ending and the way everything was put into place.

I throughoutly enjoyed this read and I can't wait for the author's next work.
