Another great thriller filled with twists by the queen herself. This one had me second guessing everyone and not knowing who I could trust. This would be the perfect read to add to your TBR this spooky season.

“Evil lurks in the safe places, too. The quiet places.”

What happens in Cason Glen stays in Cason Glen, right???? Our Little secret is so addictive. It will make someone want to keep reading it so much that the person feels ill without it. It will keep you guessing who is deceiving who and what exactly does each neighbor know about the other one. Stephanie, Enzo, Michelle, Jude and Ted, what about poor old Ted? Is he really missing? What do the kids of Cason Glen have to do with everything?

“After all, what are parents for if not to protect their children however they can? The way I see it, we’re all part monster. Some of us just hide it better than…”

I liked the alternating chapters and the small town vibe in this suspense/mystery where everybody knows everyone in their small town. As the story begins, Stephanie's husband, Ted, is missing. Ted's best friend Jude, lives across the street with his wife, Michelle, who is friends with Stephanie because their husband's grew up together and were best friends and then, both women were pregnant at the same time and now have teenagers in high school. You also hear from Enzo, whose wife Lesley left him single. So, right from the beginning, the reader wants to know what the secret the Michelle and Jude are hiding and where's Ted? What fell flat for me was the lack of character development. When you have characters that may be psychopaths, I would have liked to know the history of how they got to be that way. By the time I started to get involved with the characters, the mystery was uncovered and the story ended. #netgalley

“Someone’s missing.”
“Someone’s dead.”
“Everyone’s lying.”
“We’re all part monster. Some of us just hide it better than others.”

OK, I’m in. From the start, the story pulled me in and held my interest to the end!
Mystery, drama, secrets, cover-ups.
Some good twists throughout, with an ending that throws a hard curve ball.

Audio Version narrated by Mandy Kaplan, and Wyatt Baker. Ms. Kaplan’s voice had (or used) an accent.
Her tone and accent almost reminded me of Reese Witherspoon. High emotion was almost constantly reflected in her voice tone. Mr. Baker read well and his emotional tones were appropriate for the emotions in the character he was portraying.

4 Stars

Secrets are really deep and well hiden but one night things start to change. Everybody in this small town Cason Glen has something to hide.

Someone’s missing.
Someone’s dead.
Everyone’s lying.

It was so interesting to follow all the involved. More the story went on more there were people that wanted somebody dead. And more guilt come out.

I wondered if this missing and the dead was the same person. However, it was not that simple. The complication seemed like a lot of options that were a pleasure to read. 4.5

I started this book with the hopes that it would cause me a similar emotional feeling that The Silent Patient did. I can say that it made me feel more. This book is quick from the beginning. I found myself continuously asking "What did you do? What do you want to hide?". We are kept out of the loop until the very end of the book, and I absolutely loved that writing choice. This book was such a quick read, and I appreciate the complexity of the relationships between the characters. The ending, like I anticipated, was VERY unexpected, and so worth the read.

This book had so much potential. I was loving it but the thing that got me we’re the twists. I mean really lack their of. I felt like we had all this stuff leading up to twists but I didn’t think they were as great as I wanted them to be. I’ve read books by this author and the twists is what made me love them. Unfortunately this one fell flat. It’s not bad it’s just i wanted more from it.
