The Secret Keeper, by Kate Morton
Laurel grew up in a fairy tale home. An English country cottage, with a tree house and chickens, gads of sisters and an adorable baby brother, and parents who were absolutely nutty about each other. As a 16 year old, Laurel witnessed a murder in her front yard. 50 years later, she decides to confront that mystery and in the process learns to adore her family even more through researching her mother's WWII experiences with love, loss and new beginnings.
A 'can't put it down' read for all you mamas out there who are suckers for clean criminology. Accompanied by a fascinating reminder that all our mothers were people before they birthed us, The Secret Keeper captures all the charm of English 1940's, all the romance of first loves, and all the intrigue of deceit.
