This is the second Patricia MacDonald book I have read (the other being Lost Innocents) and I enjoyed it just as much, if not more than the first. I could not put this book down. I was determined not to close it until I devoured the very last page. The story is about a women whose husband is murdered. The police think she is the killer but do not have the evidence to arrest her. Throughout the story you meet a plethora of shady characters, each one convincing you that he/she is the actual killer. You do not know for sure until the very end. I highly recommend it.

This book kept me up into the wee hours of the morning trying to figure out who was the killer. Another excellent book by one of this genres best writers. Not quite as enthralling as "The Unforgiven" by the same author, but darn close. I would recommend this book to just about everyone as there is no excessive profanity or gratuitous sex. This book goes into my all-time-favorite categories. Read Secret Admirer today!!

a read worth your time. this book takes so many turns...just when you think you know who done it, something happens to change your mind. a total shock in the end as to who it really was.

This book is so very PATHETIC, what was P. Macdonald thinking. The main character Laura Reed Turner, is not a real women or mother at all. Who remarries just months after her husband is brutally murdered in their bed (unless guilty) it is just Appalling . Pleaseeee... I am adamant when reading any book to finish it, I read this because it is an easy read, ooohhhh how I very much wanted to toss it.
............ What mother would care about some obsessed freak show (Ian, who by the way they never concluded his involvement with his own house fire) while her child, she claimes to love and care for so much is being held at gun point by a mad woman. This book and character is beyond pathetic and P.M. should think first and write about a real woman and mother with strength and a mind of her own. Laure should have been arrested by the thought police, for the inability to have a her own capacity to think, not act like such a martyr (which she was NOT). Lauras is not a character who deserves sympathy, her weak pathetic nature is appalling as well as unbelievable, her character is severely lacking in the caring mother department. I recommend this book to No One...
