Read This Review & More Like It @ Ageless Pages Reviews! I love this book wholeheartedly. Kate Morton rocketed to my absolute favorite author list last year on the strength of The Distant Hours and The Forgotten Garden, but this latest novel absolutely cements and guarantees her continued place th...
The Secret Keeper is a prime example of why one should never abandon a book. The beginning of the story is surprisingly slow, which is unusual in one of Ms. Morton’s novels. In addition, the characters are also slow to develop. Between the two, the mystery does not immediately grab a reader’s attent...
Summary: During a party at the family farm in the English countryside, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson has escaped to her childhood tree house and is dreaming of the future. She spies a stranger coming up the road and sees her mother speak to him. Before the afternoon is over, Laurel will witness...
To be sixteen, to witness a murder, and to keep it a secret your entire life? When would Laurel find out the "real" reason for the murder. After fifty years, she needed to ask, but could she really find the answer? She had to. Time was running out. Set in England and moving from the 1930's to 2...
Loved, loved, loved it. As a writer, I more and more read with a critical eye, or to see how the author manages plot, develops characters and tells a story that holds my interest.

3.5 * because the ending made up for the very slow and dragging later third of the book. Didn't care for the POV of "Laurel"; character was a background to tell the story and not fully developed for my liking.
I found the book tedious for the most part. It was interesting enough to make me want to continue just to see how things would work out in the end. I gave the book a 4 star rating because of the ending.I have to say that I never saw it coming. The last third of the book had me riveted. It blew m...
The time is 1961. A family is celebrating the second birthday of their youngest child. Laurel is the eldest of the five children. She is hiding from everyone, daydreaming in her tree house, when suddenly, she witnesses a terrible act of violence involving her mother. The story then shoots forward in...
My first Morton’s book. She's a tremendous storyteller. Modern Daphne du Maurier? Just a thought...It's beautiful and sad at the same time… it's about second chances, love and mystery. I'm a sucker for books that jump between different time periods and characters. I love to see how history affects...
