Book Review: Dark Secret Lie

Title: Dark Secret Lie

Author: Penelope McGrath

Date: 2022

Publisher: Penelope McGrath

Quote: "I just want to hear you say you love me."

But he never will. Kendrick (first name or last name? We're not told) has been married to Emma for four and a half years but they still feel like newlyweds...the day before he's murdered.

This novelette promises a dark and twisting thriller but, although Emma is in danger, not much twisting goes on beyond the twisted mind of one of the two baddies. It's a nice clean murder mystery, not cozy but with no sex and the minimum of foul language, unlikely to embarrass parents if young children find it. If college-aged offspring find it, the embarrassment about a parent's low taste may linger until they mature enough to let it rest.
