I have been a fan of Kate Morton‘s books since the first page of The House at Riverton. Her latest novel, The Secret Keeper is the best book I’ve read in ages.
Typical of Morton’s books, the story flashes between present day and an earlier time. A crime is witnessed by Laurel, a teenager living on her family’s farm in 1961 England. At her parents request the family never discusses what really went on. Fifty years later the teenager has grown up to become a successful, well-respected actress.
Laurel returns to the family farm for her mother’s ninetieth birthday and she is flooded with the thoughts of what went on that day and the secret she has held inside. She is startled by a photo of her mother and a friend from long ago that Laurel has never met.
The mystery is deeply rooted through the story as Laurel patiently cares for her mother while digging and searching for answers that she may never find. It kept me turning the pages with twists and unexpected turns until the very end.
My sister-n-law and I always discuss books and we are always on the lookout for the next great book. About half-way through The Secret Keeper, I told her how much I was liking it. Of course she already knew, she had already finished it.
I am thrilled to have 3 copies of The Secret Keeper, by Kate Morton to giveaway! As much as I love my Kindle, I have to say, I still enjoy turning the pages of a real, live book. How about you?

While traveling over the holidays I read Mitch Albom’s Have a Little Faith: A True Story
My favorite book is the Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I re-read it every couple of years. And, I too love a “real” book – you don’t have to worry so much about dropping it in the bathtub as with a Kindle!
I’m reading The Surgeon right now….so scary and suspensful!
The last book I read was a cookbook- The Barefoot Contessa’s How Simple Is That? My BFF gave me a signed copy for Christmas! I’ve never read Kate Morton’s books. I love it when I learn about a new author that I haven’t heard about!
I just finished Night Circus….enjoyed every page!

Would have to say Craig Johnson’s “As the Crow Flies” was the last good book I read. ( We are die hard Walt Longmire fans!) Kate Morton’s book sounds wonderful.
