A sparkling story about what
happens when you let someone into your life… but they turn out to want more
than you’d bargained for!
Sarah Keyes has the perfect life.
A high-flying job in a law firm, a beautiful daughter and a house to die for.
So how does she find herself looking in through the kitchen window while
another woman enjoys it all?
When Sarah takes pity on a
struggling young graduate who can’t get a job, she thinks she’s doing the right
thing. She’s being kind, generous and helpful to others, as she always is. But
as Sarah allows the younger woman into her home, her law firm and even her
family, is there more to this pretty youngster than meets the eye? And could
this be a good deed that goes further than expected?
Claudia Carroll does it again
with an incredible new novel about what happens when your life becomes up for
grabs…
My thoughts about it...
Sarah is inexplicably drawn to
the young beauty therapist who is doing her manicure and shellac nail varnish
in a slightly rundown nail bar. When she finds out that Lauren is a young law
graduate who is struggling to find a decent job, Sarah decides to do something
to help her. Using her influence at her own law firm, Sarah decides to take
Lauren under her wing, and even introduces Lauren to her friends and family.
Told from the differing points of
view of Sarah, her teenage daughter, Darcy, and Sarah's best friend, Liz, what
gradually unfolds is a suspenseful story which looks at the way people can be
used and manipulated, and of how even the kindest of intentions can go
disastrously wrong. The multiple story strands are well developed and I
especially enjoyed trying to work out more about Lauren and the reasons why she
acted in the way she did.
Our Little Secret is my first
novel by this author. I liked her contemporary writing style and will look
forward to reading more of her books.
