The latest gripping psychological thriller from Edgar Award winner Alex Marwood
When a child goes missing at an opulent house party, it makes international news. But what really happened behind those closed doors?
Β
Twelve years ago, Mila Jacksonβs three-year-old half-sister Coco disappeared during their fatherβs fiftieth birthday celebration, leaving behind her identical twin Ruby as the only witness. The girlsβ father, Sean, was wealthy and influential, as were the friends gathered at their seaside vacation home for the weekendβs debauchery. The case ignited a media frenzy and forever changed the lives of everyone involved.
Β
Now, Sean Jackson is dead, and the people who were present that terrible night must gather once more for a funeral that will reveal that the secrets of the past can never stay hidden. Perfectly paced all the way through its devastating conclusion, The Darkest SecretΒ is one that fans of Gillian Flynn and Liane Moriarty wonβt be able to put down.
