Our Little Secret has been in my thoughts since I finished it several weeks ago. It is so dark, so twisted, so compelling. I was in Angela's corner completely, loving her relationship with H.P., wanting her to get her happy ending...right up until she got to Oxford and more of her character began to be revealed. With each page, she became darker and more determined to get what she wanted, more obsessed. and more relentless, no matter who she hurt along the way. And that ending! I was reading this while drying my hair, brushing my teeth, in a few snatched moments at lunch, etc. This was one of the most enjoyable books I have encountered this year. I was disappointed (though impressed) to realize this was Roz Nay's debut because the first thing I did after finishing was head over to Amazon to buy her backlist. I hope she is writing another book this minute!

OMG this book is AMAZING. I read so many thrillers that it's rare for one to blow me away.

Prepare to stay up late reading this one. Missing girl novels are all the rage but this one stands apart and has a unique storytelling device. Genuinely fun to read with interesting twists and turns.

Gripping, suspenseful, dark are just some of the words that come to mind. This is a good debut novel and I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to more by this author

A true whodunnit! Angela is being held by the police, because her ex boyfriend's wife is missing and she's the prime suspect. As Angela tells the tale of a high school romance gone wrong and a love triangle turned deadly, suspicion is cast on everyone and no one is safe from scrutiny. A twisty-turny tale with a shocking ending!

"All love stories are crime stories and all crime stories, love." Perhaps it's inevetable the things two people will damage in each other.

Angela is in an interview room being questioned by the police in regards to her ex's missing wife, Saskia. She weaves quite the tale for Detective Novak -- she reminesces about how she met HP, the love of her life -- how he married Saskia despite knowing that he and Angela were soul mates.

Angela can't let go of him and manages to insert herself into their lives, including becoming godmother to their little girl, Olive. But then things go wrong, as they usually do when one of the triad has an unrequited love to another member. Angela is obsessed with HP and can't let go -- but does that mean she had something to do with the missing Saskia?

Definitely a psychological study and I wasn't quite sure at first where this was going, as Angela probably isn't the most reliable of narrators. Will she tell the truth?

I enjoyed this one but was taken aback a bit at the sudden ending. "The spiders aren't crawling anymore."

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon&Schuster for the e-book ARC to review.

Is all really fair in love and war? Police are holding Angela in an interrogation room, trying to prise information from her about her ex-wife, Saskia, who has disappeared. The detective on the case is sure Angela is holding back a critical truth, she either knows who took Saskia, or she did something to her ex herself? As she is questioned, the story of Saskia and Angela’s love affair, marriage and break-up comes to light. The intensity of first love, how we react when it goes wrong and the consequences are the meat of this dark and disturbing story
