I have no words, only feelings, and a mishmash at best for this book, but I’ll do my best to share my thoughts.
The plot revolves around identical twin sisters, Ellie and Tia, one a high-achieving business woman and the other suffering from a mild learning disability that means she’s lived in a sheltered-housing type set up for most of her life. When this ‘‘school’ closes Ellie decides to give her sister a home, not realising that…
On breaking it down Secrets Between Us is a character-driven novel that hangs on three individuals: Ellie, Tia and Will (Ellie’s husband). Oh, there are more than just three but they’re all minor. But unlike other books in this popular Psychological Thriller genre Keogh has done the previously unachievable. She’s made the reader invest in these characters as people. Yes. All three of them. I don’t know how she’s managed it but she’s made all of her MC’s equally likeable and hateable (I know it’s not a word, but it should be!). She not only managed to grab me from page one she had me rooting for each one in equal measures. The ending is superb, brilliant even and left me with the book-hangover from hell. I had to resort to a vintage Mills and Boon to cleanse my palate of all things Keogh and I still can’t get that ending out of my head. She’s managed to leave a never-ending trail of thoughts in her wake over this book.

I was lucky enough to read a very early ARC of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
