This is the first Philippa East novel that I've read, and I'm certain it won't be the last!
2019: Finn receives a shocking call from his ex-wife, Mhairi informing him of their mutual friend Kate's death.
It is sudden, unexpected and tragic.
Their past has always been complicated but Kate was usually the one who solved the problems, not caused them...
It's almost inconceivable that she had secrets.
2003: Carrie and her friends spend their days studying at a remote boarding school, and their nights sneaking out in to the woods
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
They agree to never reveal the truth of what happened.
But sometimes the past comes back to haunt us.
What happens when the truth can't stay buried?
But what possible connection could there be between these Kate's death, and a boarding school?
Well, it's a little complicated... and I don't want to give anything away, as I really think you need to read this one for yourself...
Told from multiple perspectives, and time lines, this novel requires an element of concentration, but it is well worth it when the complexities all start coming together.
A Guilty Secret is available via Amazon online and all good book shops.
Thank You to the publishers who approved my request via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
