`If you haven't read Kate Morton before, do yourself a favour' - Graham NortonKate Morton's global bestselling novel, The Secret Keeper, is a spellbinding story of secrets, murder and enduring love. 1961: On a sweltering summer's day, while her family picnics by the stream on their Suffolk farm, sixteen-year-old Laurel hides out in her childhood tree house dreaming of a boy called Billy, a move to London and the bright future that awaits her. But before the idyllic afternoon is over, Laurel will have witnessed a shocking crime that changes everything. 2011: Now a much-loved actress, Laurel finds herself overwhelmed by the long shadows of her past. Haunted by memories, and the mystery of what she saw that day, she returns to her family home and begins to piece together a secret history. A tale of three strangers from vastly different worlds - Dorothy, Vivien and Jimmy - who are brought together by chance in wartime London and whose lives become fiercely and fatefully entwined. Transporting you through the 1930s, 1960s and present day, The Secret Keeper is an exceptional, emotional mystery from a much-loved storyteller. `Kate Morton excels in this enthralling novel about desires and divided loyalties' - Good HousekeepingReaders love The Secret Keeper:'A stunning read''I can't remember the last book that engaged me so much''I think I'll never forget Vivien, Jimmy, Dorothy and Laurel'Praise for Kate Morton:'Addictive reading' - Mail on Sunday'Deliciously compelling' - Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies'Ambitious, complex, compelling' - Kristin Hannah, author of The Women
