The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham    496 pages

Oh my gosh! Yikes!   This story will tear at your heart!  I can't stop saying OMgosh!  Because this story will haunt you, but the writing is such perfection that you will be pulled along without wanting to let it go until the end.   There is mystery, there is suspense, and there is awful murder happening that will literally bring tears to your eyes for the wrongness of it.   So despicable and yet, the murderer bears no guilt, no remorse really other than through the murders the killer simply lost what it wanted to possess.  Michael Robotham is an amazing writer who not only puts words on a page but instills them with the deepest innermost torment and emotion for all involved.   It is the most tragic book I have read in I don't know when but it is also one of the best books I have read in this genre.  Kudos to Michael Robotham for an astoundingly good heart ripping tale.    One character will do anything to have the life she wants even if she has to steal the life of someone else to do it.    You won't want to put this one down it is that good if grim at times.    Due to the nature of what transpires, I recommend this one to adults.  The images it paints in one's mind are startling and unforgettable.   It is a lot to take in.   Let's let the younger set keep gentler thoughts as long as they can.
