Tell Me No Secrets

I loved this book for a bit of escapism. You see a families torn apart through tragedy learning to love life again and on top of that you have the detective agency and the plot surrounding that. Really enjoyed the book

Lynda Stacey knows how to mesh multiple themes in her novel as this one was packed with lies, anguish, romance, secrets and just enough danger thrown in to keep things interesting. Despite it being a suspenseful thriller that will have you flipping pages faster than you can breathe there was some humorous moments to add some balance.

From a psychological point of view I found this very interesting because it allows you to view how Kate is handling the stages of grief which in her case is particularly hard as she was the one who didn’t die in the accident. I felt that Stacey did a great job with the character development for the all of the characters, the relationships seemed realistic and moved at a logical pace and she made you care about their journey.

Her debut novel House of Secrets put her on the map as an author to watch when it came to this genre and thankfully her follow up helps keep her there.

I’ve also learned through many other books that Choc Lit Publishing is proving itself to be one of my favorites because I have yet to read a bad novel under their label. I was glad to see Stacey is continuing to aid in that reputation.

Kate is starting a new job as a private investigator, her first job since her car accident which left her face badly scarred and killed her brother and left her twin sister Eve in a wheelchair, having previously been a police officer she is prepared for the boredom of the work and sometimes danger but is she prepared for the Boss's son Ben! Ever since he stole her parking place on the first day the sparks have flown!

Rob is Kate's fiancé and a thoroughly nasty person - after wooing her in a whirlwind romance as soon as he moved in with her he started showing his true colours - belittling her at every opportunity, disappearing for days at a time and when she overhears him having a phone conversation she realises that he has secrets that he is not telling her - the sooner she gets rid of him the better!

As Ben completes Kate's training they get drawn into a new case involving drugs which could be dangerous - but how dangerous and is it moving too close to home?

A great story with plenty of romance and suspense to keep your interest and make it a real page turner
