The Nature of Secrets

Written by Debra Webb

Narrated by Megan Tusing

From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes a thrilling installment in the Finley O’Sullivan series about a well-connected woman who stands accused of her husband’s murder. She’s innocent—unless Finley proves otherwise.

Legal investigator Finley O’Sullivan has had a difficult year in the wake of her husband’s murder. But in her line of work, there’s no time to grieve. Her job is to protect the firm’s clients and defend their innocence through grueling investigative work.

Ellen Winthrop is a force to be reckoned with in the financial world. In a male-dominated industry, she shattered the glass ceiling by empowering and promoting women. But now her husband is dead, killed in the Winthrop family home—and she stands accused of his murder.

Finley, as the investigator at the firm Ellen Winthrop hired to defend her, has a clear objective: prove that Ellen didn’t do it. But the deeper Finley digs into the Winthrops’ marriage, the more she starts to doubt Ellen’s story. The uncomfortable truth is that Ellen Winthrop may in fact have killed her husband.

And he might not have been the first.

Reviews for The Nature of Secrets

[kimkimkim-7 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I am not sure whether this is a police procedural with a private investigator slant or more of a psychological mini thriller. The important aspect is that this book kept me engrossed from beginning to end. There are multiple storylines that parallel and cross and then mesh beautifully. Walking a tight line that sometimes wavers over the edge you have to keep thinking about that old ends vs. means conundrum. Was it all lies? Remember “There was no way to find the truth until you understood what you knew was a lie.”Well done Ms. Webb for tackling a difficult and thorny moral dilemma and offering an ingenuous solution. Thank you Thomas & Mercer & NetGalley for a copy.
