A review by complicated_brunette
Tell Me Your Secrets by Mel McGrath

3.0

Tell Me Your Secrets tells the story of Meg and Marc, a couple who move to the country following the tragic death of their daughter and on inheriting a cottage from Marc's father. When the therapist they have both been seeing arrives in their village looking for somewhere to rent, they revel in the happy coincidence and offer her a studio in their back garden. But it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems and that maybe there is more to Jeanette than meets the eye.

I found this book incredibly frustrating as Marc and Meg didn't seem to be able to see what was glaringly obvious. They were both pretty weak characters, who were easily led and seemed unable to figure things out for themselves. The writing was good but, as with her previous book, the editing was shockingly bad and it was therefore difficult to read.

Overall, the story itself wasn't bad but I found it to be more frustrating than anything and it was a bit of an effort to finish. That said, I would still read more by this author as I do enjoy her writing style and I'm hoping it was just these characters that I wasn't fond of.

My thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for sending me this ARC in return for an honest review.
