Little Secrets

Marin runs a chain of upscale hair salons in her community, where she is respected as the center of a close family. Her husband is Derek. Then her son Sebastian is taken, and the life she built comes apart.

A year on, the police search has gone cold and the publicity has faded. Marin and Derek barely speak, and her hold on her own sanity is slipping. She hires a private investigator to continue where the police stopped, hoping he will find her boy.

What he turns up is something else: Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman. The discovery pulls Marin out of her numbness. She has already lost a child and refuses to lose her husband too. To her, the mistress is an enemy with a face, and that makes her a problem Marin believes she can fix for good.

The book is a domestic psychological thriller about a grieving mother who turns toward revenge. Reading it is dark and tense, with the question of what Marin is prepared to do driving the story forward.
