'The Secret Keeper' is a well-written, page-turning novel. I found it hard to put down. Even though I predicted the ending early on, it was exciting to keep reading to see if I was right. The author is skilled at gradually building up tension until the reader is beyond him/herself with anticipation. The characters are vivid and relatable; the prose fluid and smooth. It is a rare book that keeps the reader in suspense until the very last page. Loved this novel!
