The death of Kit Harper raises lots of questions. To start with there doesn’t seem to be any fallible reason why someone would want to kill him. As Allie and her team start to dig further though, it looks like Kit was not on his own when it comes to keeping secrets.

I loved the close knit friendship between the characters in this particular case. It made Kit’s death even more personal seeing how they took the loss of their friend. I felt like I was sharing in their loss and grief along with them. It was interesting as we get further into the story, how little snippets of information about the group of friends raised questions in my mind and I knew only Allie was going to be able to help me answer them.

Hidden Secrets sucked me straight into the story, hardly letting me get up for air. I was consumed by the case as things are far from straight forward. I was so sure I was on the right path only to have the rug swiftly pulled from under me and realising I was way off the mark. I just love Allie and I enjoyed the working relationships within the team as with this being the fifth book in the series, I almost feel like I’m one of them. Although with my huge lack of detective skills and being so wrong with this case, I fear I wouldn’t last very long! The author has done it again, delivering a page turning crime thriller that gobbles you up and doesn’t spit you out until after the last page. A tense, edge of your seat read!

My thanks to the author for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
