The Secrets He Kept

Product Information

There were a few aspects of this story that seemed far-fetched to me which took away slightly from my rating. However, I was able to accept it and move forward to continue enjoying this addictive story. Elaborating on that, Agatha, played by Downtown icon Laura, became obsessed with influencer Meghan, who runs a 'mummy' blog. Meghan was expecting a child, while Agatha was faking her own pregnancy, struggling to come to terms with the demons of her own past.

Ok first of all, none of the characters in this film behave like actual human beings would behave in these situations. Imagine having a horrible thing happen to you or another family member, and then just being like, "Wow, that was scary. So do you wanna go get some ice cream?" Like, no call to the police, no sign of being visibly distraught after a trauma, and just "Yeah let's get ice cream!" and then they never discuss the horrible event that just happened. That's what these characters do every time something bad happens, and then the NEXT time something bad happens, they never stop and think hey, why are all these bad things happening? Maybe we should call the police? Nope. It's like the characters in this movie are just vehicles for the plot points, and making them behave like actual humans is something the writers and director weren't at all concerned with. The story is told alternating viewpoints of our two main characters Agatha and Meghan. I'm honestly not sure which point of view I enjoyed more... ok.. lets' be honest I was addicted to both damn characters haha. Robotham captures the physical misery that often characterizes late-term pregnancies and writes convincingly in a female voice, but where this book excels is in the increasing sense of threat he crafts so well.With its interestingly imperfect characters and escalating sense of urgency, this novel will keep you reading as fast as you can.' The words are the beginning of a blogpost Meghan – a mummy blogger and social media influencer – is writing. But when it comes to skeletons in the closet, the admission of an unintended child is nothing compared with the various kinds of jiggery-pokery and dangerous liaisons in store.

Stolen from hospital shortly after being born and without the required medical attention, the little boy became ill, with Agatha refusing to take him to the doctors. It came to light that Agatha had given birth to a stillborn baby daughter and given up another child for adoption, as well as being linked to three previous baby abductions. Simon demanded a paternity test and, in an attempt to keep her indiscretions secret, Megan swapped baby Ben's DNA swab with one taken from one of her other children.

"In the first series we saw them go through terrible trauma and now, in season two, we see the consequence of trauma and Meghan attempting to stop the cycle, which is such a difficult thing to do. It’s an emotional roller coaster." Holocaust thriller had a Jewish protagonist, but Israeli director made her Roma". The Times of Israel . Retrieved July 1, 2022.I can't give all the details..because that would be spoilery and I would get punched or something for that. Colour Michael Robotham’s book a bowl of the good stuff. Every spoonful reinforces your need to keep reading. No magic here, this is simply damn good storytelling, with positively amazing characterization and excruciatingly intense pacing. I love the intimate way in which Robotham chose to tell this story. Have you ever told a lie? One that becomes bigger and bigger the more you tell it? One that makes you keep secrets from those you love? Such that you want to believe your lies more than anything and almost forget what is a lie and what is the truth? I think we’ve all told little white lies but who has told big nasty lies that make you keep secrets from those you love? I think that’s pretty hard to admit to. Yet in “The Secrets She Keeps” by the brilliant Michael Robotham, its easier than it seems and Meghan and Agatha, both of the main characters in this book, are guilty of it to some degree.

The two women, Meghan, mother of two and popular mommy blogger married to a TV sports broadcaster and Agatha, who works in Meghan's local supermarket and is pregnant after a fling with a sailor, are both expecting their babies around the same time. They bond over this and get to know each other. Both of them are keeping secrets and telling lies to themselves and their partners and as the births of their babies approach, their worlds collide and threaten to destroy them and their families. A lot of her behaviour is questionable and she’s caused a lot of pain, but we understand why she does these things. As an actor, that’s what you want, to understand how a character got to where they are,” shares Laura. “Agatha is in a position now where you can see the terrible things that she has done, but you still have incredible empathy for her.”Both Agatha and Meg are keeping terrible secrets, which are slowly revealed as the story progresses. Agatha had a horrible childhood that has left emotional scars. Meg’s relationship with her handsome sports announcer husband is not-so-perfect after all. After the birth of Meg’s son, something horrific happens that permanently changes the course of both Agatha and Meg’s lives.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Little, Brown Book Group/Sphere and Michael Robotham for a copy to read and review.

I would recommend this novel to anyone who is looking for a captivating and compelling mystery/suspense. Michael Robotham is a phenomenal writer. If you haven't read his books, you are seriously missing out. This is a standalone, but his series about Joseph O'Loughlin is perhaps one of the best I have read. We really have no idea what goes on in someone's life. How things that happened throughout their lives can affect everything. I was trying to put myself into the minds of these characters. All of the horrible things some had been through. Some parts were very difficult to read. The Secrets She Keeps is a fast-paced, highly entertaining, psychological thriller that I could not put down! The chapters alternate between Agatha and her prey of sorts, Meg. It’s first-person narration, which I happen to love because I feel like the characters are talking to ME, and I usually don’t feel the least bit detached. I feel privileged that the characters are letting me in on their well-guarded secrets. Naturally I was more enamored with Agatha because she was so smart and unpredictable. And then I would feel all weird that my fascination with her made her chapters more fun to read. Meg was sort of bland and predictable, so I was slightly less thrilled to get to her chapters. I did like her, though, and she was super well-drawn. And she has her own secret and the anguish that comes with it. Also, she does a really cool and unexpected thing at the end which will keep her secret hidden forever. head of post production : Cutting Edge / head of post production: Cutting Edge (12 episodes, 2020-2022)

One minor complaint (which, thankfully, doesn’t entail dragging the huge Complaint Board out of the shed): The voices of Agatha and Meg aren’t distinct enough. But because there is such a clear difference between the bad guy’s and the good guy’s actions, it never got confusing. I did make the mistake of looking and trying to figure out some big twists that never came for me and the end did leave me wanting a bit more but after discussing this one with my sisters I ended up feeling very satisfied with the ending. I highly recommend.
