Summary

There are some secrets you can never tell.

The last thing to go through Dominique Thomas's head was the image of her teenage daughter's face and her heart lifted. Then the shot rang out.

They were the perfect family. Successful businessman Ben Thomas and his wife Dominique live an enviable life, along with their beautiful children: teenager Ruby and quirky younger daughter Mouse.

But on Christmas Day the police are called to their London home, only to discover a horrific scene: the entire family lying lifeless, victims of an unknown assailant.

But when Ruby's diary is discovered, revealing her rage at the world around her, police are forced to look closer to home for the key to this tragedy.

Each family member harboured their own dark truths - but has keeping their secrets pushed Ruby to the edge of sanity? Or are there darker forces at work?

This dark, gripping psychological thriller will have you holding your breath until the very last minute. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie, and The Girl on the Train will be captivated.

Critic reviews

"Compelling, claustrophobic and horribly believable - a great read!" (B. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors)

Her Last Secret review

I loved this book! This was the first audio book I have really enjoyed. The lady reading the story had the most amazing voice and made it enjoyable to listen to.
A great thriller. I couldn't wait to find out what actually happened on Christmas day!

Weak Ending

Was hoping for more. Quite predictable and a really weak ending. There are better thrillers out there.

Highly Recommended Read

Any additional comments?

A gripping and intriguing story that is completely believable. Barbara Copperthwaite has created well woven characters that the reader easily becomes involved with. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book as soon as I realised it actually begins by revealing the brutal ending of the story but the author executes the telling of it brilliantly. Katie Villa’s narration is excellent.
