Little Secrets: A Novel

Written by Jennifer Hillier

Narrated by Kirsten Potter

Overwhelmed by tragedy, a woman desperately tries to save her marriage in award-winning author Jennifer Hillier's Little Secrets, a riveting audiobook of psychological suspense.

"Suspenseful and compelling—Hillier is a masterful storyteller." —Chevy Stevens

All it takes to unravel a life is one little secret...

Marin had the perfect life. Married to her college sweetheart, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and Derek runs his own company. They're admired in their community and are a loving family—until their world falls apart the day their son Sebastian is taken.

A year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. The FBI search has gone cold. The publicity has faded. She and her husband rarely speak. She hires a P.I. to pick up where the police left off, but instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. She's lost her son; she's not about to lose her husband, too. Kenzie is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix.

Permanently.

[Shereene King · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely fantastic story!! Narrator was the best I've heard in years. She made the characters really come alive and added to the suspense. Listening felt like I was watching television!! This was my 1st book by Jennifer Hillier. Will most definitely read more!

[Keri Belgarde · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was incredibly captivating. I was unable to guess the plots and twists in this story and every one of them kept blowing my mind more than the last! I will be picking up more of Hillier’s books for sure!

I liked it. Great narration, great story. Saw the ending coming but it still surprises me somehow. Lol. Overall, good book.

[Allie Kane · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

If you have a small child(ren) this book may be triggering but if you can get past that it’s a page turner. I couldn’t stop listening. The plot gets thicker and thicker and just when you think you have it figured out something else happens. I really enjoyed this!

[Sarah · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Jennifer Hillier knows how to write a thriller. Kept me guessing and when I found out who was responsible I was floored. Not only that but also how they where all connected. Just wow!

[jordan2guidry · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So so good!! It had everything I could possibly want in a book

[Donna Yancey · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The narrator was fantastic. I could hardly stop listening even for a few minutes.

[Charity · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Marin was redundant and at points annoying, but the ending was worth waiting for! After this story, I was paranoid about losing a kid I don’t even have! ?

[desiree demello · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a fantastic read/listen! Whenever I thought I knew where this book was going, it would take off in another direction. It kept me constantly wondering what would happen next.

I’ll definitely be thinking about this book for a long time to come.

[Jessica Robertson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very good. Kept your interest throughout the book. Would recommend.

[Kieran Beckford · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I feel like a lot of parts just weren't needed and this book could've been shaved down a couple hours.

[Bethany Marantos · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I listen to audiobooks every day, continuously, & unfortunately it’s been awhile since I’ve heard a good one…but I really liked this one. I finished it in 2 days. There were one or two slightly graphic sex scenes I could’ve done without, but other than that, this one’s 5 star worthy in my opinion.

[d-fbuser-493464675 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I agree with other reviewers who said nothing happens until the last 2 hrs of the book and that the story could have been told in half the words!
The book is beautifully narrated, and captures your attention from the beginning but as time goes on the author just goes into so much unnecessary description that doesn't even help solve the mystery. i got really fed up after 4 hrs of it and considered stopping it but i was so intrigued to see what will happen just bc nothing did most of the way throughout!
I would skip this book and listen to something more rewarding.... time is too scarce. This will be my first and last time i read from this author.

[Stephanie Paige Goodman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic, all the way to the end! One of the best books I’ve read in YEARS!

[Jada D · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Incredible. So unique. Well written. The right pace. Felt like I could enjoy the journey of it

[sherrill carper · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Well written. The character development was good. Very enjoyable book that kept me engaged through the end.

[Nicole Weissenberger · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It was a little slow moving but ended up sucking me in. Great book until in the second to last chapter it skipped over to a different narrator and book.

[Mary Bouchard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the book it was good to the last word! I am interested in listening to her other books.

[Shakila · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

My favorite part of this book was at the middle and through to the very end! Everyone has a “Little Secret” to reveal!

[Emily Lassiter Branch · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

What an apt title for Jennifer Hillier's latest book! This starts with every parent's worst nightmare - Marin's young son disappears while she's Christmas shopping with him in a crowded Seattle shopping district. Months later, there's been no real progress on the case, and knowing the odds of a positive outcome, the authorities have essentially put it on the back burner. When Marin hires a private detective to continue digging, she the first in a long line of "little secrets" that make her question everything she thinks she knows about her life. It's hard to say much without revealing too much - I'll just say it's fascinating to watch events unravel and see just how many secrets characters are keeping from each other. Overall a very good read.
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a copy for an unbiased review.
