When Sean Jackson turns fifty he plans to do so in style, but during the course of his birthday weekend in Bournemouth his 3 year old twin daughter Coco disappears. No trace is ever found of her. Twelve years later Sean passes away and as his friends, who once gathered for his birthday, come together again the truth of what happened to Coco starts to emerge.
Told simultaneously from August 2004, when the ill fated trip to Bournemouth was taken and 12 years later as news of Sean passing impacts his daughter’s, this is one spellbinding read that will mess with your mind. All the main adult characters in this novel are despicable and many the choices they make belie any sense of morality, however in revealing all is it helpful, is it kind? The ending of this book may spark big book club debates…
A definite must read psychological thriller for 2016. The Darkest Secret is available for pre-order and will be published on 1st January 2016.
This sounds really good. I’m going to have to check this one out.

Kept me up all night and still haunts me. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off books in the New Year.
