Haunted by her own family's history, an actress puts the past back together in The Secret Keeper, the bestselling novel from beloved storyteller Kate Morton, presented in a beautiful new edition.
A spellbinding story of mysteries and secrets, murder and enduring love, across time. From Kate Morton, the bestselling author of Homecoming.
'Enthralling' – Good Housekeeping
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 she can’t wait to seize. But before the idyllic afternoon is over, Laurel will have witnessed a shocking crime that changes everything.
Present day. Now a much-loved actress, Laurel finds herself overwhelmed by shades of the 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 war-time London and whose lives become fiercely and fatefully entwined.
Transporting you through the 1930s, 1960s and present day, The Secret Keeper is an enchanting, page-turning read.

'Deliciously compelling' – Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies
'Ambitious, complex, compelling' – Kristin Hannah, author of The Women
