This book was slow in the middle and chaotic at the end and very all over the place. Flashbacks were not a smooth transition and I felt a good bit of confusion throughout the book. Overall a no for me.

Good one.
When Rose’s old friend Elise suddenly arrives on her doorstep having just escaped a controlling marriage, she offers her a place to stay. But Elise wants more than a safe refuge, she wants Rose to help her get her daughter back, so that she can truly start afresh with five-year-old Daisy safely in her arms. Every little girl needs her mother, after all. Ready to insert herself into Elise’s old home, Rose gets a job as a teacher, home-schooling Daisy. But when Rose is asked to take the little girl and bring her to Elise, she gets cold feet… Elise’s behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic, and Daisy’s father is far from the monster described…Will Rose take Daisy and return her to her mother, or is the real danger closer to home? Who should she trust?
The secret wasn't that big but it was a good read.
Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me an advance copy.

A really good drama full of everything, suspense, murder, and revenge.
I struggled at the start but so glad i persevered.
I was kept guessing which always makes it a worthwhile read in my eyes.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Thanks NetGalley and publishers for the Arc of My best friends secret by Karen Clarke.
I was really drawn in by the description and the cover. It has potential, but lost me in parts. Overall all I did enjoy the book and would read more by this author.

When Elise turns up on Rose's doorstep one day asking for help, Rose isn't exactly delighted to see her. Memories of their somewhat variable friendship tell her Elise isn't exactly to be trusted but she's aware that she let Elise down in the past and that she 'owes' her. Elise tells her she has fled from an abusive marriage and that Rose must help her get her daughter back.

This was an enjoyable if somewhat unrealistic read. The plan that Elise has hatched is pretty incredible and it's hard to believe that Rose would go along with it. But she does and soon wishes she didn't. The author does a good job of having us suspecting first one and then another character and Elise in particular is well-drawn.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I was really drawn to the cover of this book. I have read books of hers in the past and find that they all seem to be in the middle. Some really good storylines, some things in the middle that lose my attention, then skipping to the back to find out the ending. Very average thriller.

My Best Friend's Secret is a suspenseful, drama that I couldn't put down. It had me hooked with its many twists and turns.

Rose’s old friend Elise suddenly arrives on her doorstep having just escaped an abusive marriage, she offers her a place to stay. But Elise doesn’t just want a place to stay she needs Rosie to help get her daughter back. But can Rosie trust Elise and how much danger is she putting herself in by offering Elise a home. Fantastic drama which I highly recommend.

My Best Friend's Secret is a suspenseful, page turning mystery thriller that I couldn't put down. This premise is completely hooking with turns of twists and turns to keep you engaged throughout. I couldn't wait for the reveal and unlike some mysteries I actually couldn't guess what was going to happen next. I will definitely check out more by this author.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

My Best Friends Secret is an unputdownable read I kept wanting to keep reading, I will definitely be reading more books by this author.
