Our Little Secret by Roz Nay
4.0
My Takeaway
“The detective wants to know what happened to Saskia as if I could just skip to the ending and all would be well. But stories begin at the beginning and some secrets have to be earned”.
Our Little Secret
Our Little Secret, is twisted, unexpected and clever. Once I began reading, I did not want to put it down. The characters in this thriller are complex and at times quite eccentric (with a splash of cuckoo). The narrator and protagonist, Angela, is intelligent, a bit over the top, and obsessive — not a good combination. I agree with some readers, a few of the events are a bit farfetched, but in this case, I feel it works. I finished the book a few nights ago, yet I’m still thinking about the book’s abrupt ending. I believe it was Nay’s intention to throw me off and confuse the crap out of me (she gets extra points for it). I read this novel super-fast and I think this is the best way to capture the essence and spin of the story. This is Nay’s debut novel, but I can’t wait to read additional work from this promising new voice.
