From the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author
of The Distant Hours, The Forgotten Garden, and The House at
Riverton, a spellbinding novel of family secrets, murder, and enduring
love.
During a picnic at her family's farm in the English countryside,
sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson witnesses a shocking crime, a crime
that challenges everything she knows about her adored mother, Dorothy.
Now, fifty years later, Laurel and her sisters are meeting at the farm
to celebrate Dorothy's ninetieth birthday. Realizing that this is her
last chance to discover the truth about that long-ago day, Laurel
searches for answers that can only be found in Dorothy's past. Clue by
clue, she traces a secret history of three strangers from vastly
different worlds thrown together in war-torn London--Dorothy, Vivien,
and Jimmy--whose lives are forever after entwined. A gripping story of
deception and passion, The Secret Keeper will keep you enthralled to
the last page.
