My review: The Secrets She Kept by Brenda Novak
4 STARS
This can stand alone but is better having read The Secret Sister. The Secrets She Kept is a murder mystery romance. It is full of twists you don't see and some you do. There are plenty of secrets. There is some love scenes.
Josephine Lazarow is a powerful rich mother of three. She is found dead in her bathtub. She makes lots of enemies. The police think she committed suicide her kids do not believe that.
Keith Lazarow has not seen his mother or talked to her for five years. That is also how long he has been off of drugs. He has turned his life around and made his own fortune.
Nancy Dellinger has worked for Josephine for seven years. She is not sad to see her dead. She helped Keith years ago when he was on drugs. She fell in love with him but he just used her.
Some of the suspects and why they are suspects part of the story line seems week but I don't want to give it away. A lot of lives are messed up because of Josephine ego and affairs.
I never guessed where the story would take me next.
I was given this ebook to read by NetGalley and Harlequin. In return I agreed to give a honest review of The Secrets She Kept.
