The Secrets She Keeps - Michael Robotham

on March 15, 2018
If there is a better contemporary writer than Michael Robotham, I have not found them. No one writes a better "pulls you in and rachets up the suspense" novel than Mr. Robotham. The Secrets She Ketosis a standalone novel and does not feature my two favorite fictional characters psychiatrist Joseph O'Loughlin and Detective Inspector Ruiz but is a great book. Told from a first person account by two different women who are sharing pregnancy terms together. Meghan and Agatha, two very likable protagonists tell the story from their point of view. The suspense gets so great that you cannot willingly put the book down. There is an urgency, a desperate feeling of hopelessness and concern as the fragile state of the human mind is revealed in the story.
While visiting New Zealand two years ago, I bought my first Michael Robotham book Life or Death based on the recommendation of the book seller in the store I was in. I was blown way by this Australia writer's book and upon returning to the states bought and read all his other novels. You must also read his psychiatrist Joe O'Loughlin and Inspector Ruiz books. You can thank me later.
Mr Robotham has a new book which is scheduled to be released October, 2018 titled The Other Wife. It is already in my Amazon cart
