With her latest novel, Philippa East has cemented herself as a master of the domestic, character-driven thriller. With a plot that keeps the reader guessing, “A Guilty Secret” is another wonderful exploration of what happens when our traumas catch up with us. 

In my review of Philippa East's previous novel, “Safe and Sound”, I said I thought it was a big improvement on her debut. And I'm happy to say her follow-up, “I'll Never Tell”, proves that this improvement was no fluke by being a fast-paced thriller I could barely put down.
