The secrets she keeps

The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham   368 pages

Agatha works part-time stocking shelves at a local grocery store, counting down the days until her baby is due. The one thing she looks forward to is catching a glimpse of Meghan, a customer who seems like she has the perfect life. When Agatha learns Meghan is also pregnant and the two of them are due around the same time, she finally musters up the courage to speak to her. Little does Meghan know that this quick conversation will cause her path to converge with Agatha's in a way that will change the course of her life.

I discovered this author recently and have now started reading some of his other books. I don't want to spoil anything about the story, but suffice to say, you can probably guess that Meghan's life isn't actually perfect at all, and this is just what Agatha thinks.  And, Agatha is hiding some pretty big secrets of her own --- which doesn't get revealed fully until you're well into the story. And, I was surprised by one of the big twists, which was nice. The pacing of this story starts a bit slow and then ramps up as the story continues, so by the time there's a big reveal about Agatha, you're whipping along (or at least, I was).
