Let's take a look at Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper.
Description: Withdrawing from a family party to the solitude of her tree house, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson witnesses a shocking murder that throughout a subsequent half century shapes her beliefs, her acting career, and the lives of three strangers from vastly different cultures. (from NoveList)
The author, Kate Morton is known for her characters, intricate plots and twists.
Here are what readers on Goodreads are saying:
- thoroughly satisfying and totally unpredictable
- the author did her homework about London during the blitz
- she creates intricately plotted stories full of tragedy and betrayal and lost loves and second chances
- her characters are colorful and they'll always trip you up as you stumble over their secrets
- I had this mystery figured out at least 5 different times throughout the book...but then new information came to light so I had to change my mind. I did get one major part right but I completely missed the big shocker. Wow.
- twists and turn....well researched....I found the story very easy to follow.
