Tense, Twisty, and Unputdownable
Fatal Secret by M.L. Rose is a gripping thriller with a strong, complex heroine and plenty of clever twists. Fast-paced and atmospheric, it’s a great read for fans of psychological mysteries and police procedurals. Another fantastic entry in the DI Nikki Gill series! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy—I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

When Detective Inspector Nikki Gill discovers a young Oxford student dead at the base of New College’s ancient walls, she assumes it’s a tragic accident. But everything changes when a note is found in the victim’s pocket mentioning Nikki by name. As she investigates the death of Chloe Pierson, Nikki uncovers the student’s secret quest to find out what happened to her mother who vanished years ago! Great read! Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It had shocking suspense, mystery, murder, great characters and a few wild twists! The storyline was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Absolutely riveting! A girl falls to her death from the Oxford ramparts. DI Nikki Gill is lead investigator and it becomes a convoluted, complex case with twists and turns and connections to Nikki herself. Good, strong characters and a great plot. Plenty of suspense and I couldn't put it down!
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and M.L. Rose for the free ARC. All opinions are my own.

Another fabulous read in the DI Nikki Gill series of books. Invested in the characters from start to finish. Follows the investigation of Chloe's fall from the rooftop. How does it relate back to DI Gill? Kept me gripped throughout. Highly recommended. I was lucky enough to receive this as an advanced reader copy and leave this review willingly.

Fatal Secret is one of those twisty, page-turning thrillers that worked really well for me. It isn’t too heavy but still managed to grip me in the secrets and betrayals. The plot jumps about and was constantly surprising with so many twists I just did not see coming,
The characters are real, with flaws, and characters issues and they seemed to just keep making the most terrible of decisions. Because of this the plot felt that it was constantly rushing forward with hidden pasts crashing into the book bringing drama and making this a real entertaining read,

I LOVED THIS PHENOMENAL, TWISTY AND GRIPPING BOOK. I raced through it, it consumed me in all its pages. A shocking conclusion which left me gobsmacked! It was brilliant HOOKS YOU FROM THE START. LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!

This was fantastic police procedural and definitely first class writing I love this authors writing style manages to keep the suspense going right up until the very last page! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

This book is one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read this year. I made my mind up many times, only to be proven wrong each time. The last 30 pages had me almost holding my breath!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!
