The Secrets We Buried By Becca Day

‘The Secrets We Buried’ is the latest book by Becca Day.

When ordinary mum Frankie moves into her new seaside home, it is a dream come true. Her new neighbours – glamorous Zara, ambitious Nadine and social butterfly Geneva – soon take her under their wing. The four women become inseparable. Until the morning when Geneva’s body is found on the beach.
Suspicion is immediately cast on Geneva’s husband. Everyone believes he must be guilty. But when the police don’t charge him, he vanishes without trace. Now, five years later, he’s back. And he’s not the only one. Soon no one is beyond suspicion. Dark secrets that have been hiding behind closed doors begin to be revealed, with devastating consequences.

Seen from the narrative of 3 best friends and an aspiring crime sleuth, ‘The Secrets We Buried’ is a dark and addictive whodunnit.
Zara, Frankie and Nadine are best friends but their friendship kind of drifted apart after the murder of their Geneva. Now a podcast called ‘True Crime Over Wine’ is delving into the case and the presenter Juniper is determined to bring the killer to justice. But as she delves into the murder, she begins to unearth secrets that puts all the women at stake of losing everything. The women are all strong characters, but each one has their kryptonite which could put any of them in the frame.

I really enjoyed this story, the characters are an interesting mix of personalities and they all have their own issues and there’s such underlying suspense throughout the story and as it develops with Juniper uncovering more secrets, it’s clear that there are a lot of suspects in the story. ‘The Secrets We Buried’ is a great thriller, relatively short and is packed with drama and tension.

You can buy ‘The Secrets We Buried’ from Amazon and good bookshops.
