Want to Know a Secret? by Sue MoorcroftMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Diane gets a call from the Police, her husband has been badly injured in a helicopter crash. At first she is disbelieving, her husband has never been in a helicopter in his life - they aren't those sort of people. But soon she finds out that her husband has a lot of secrets.
The initial premise is not new - there was that film with Harrison Ford and whatsherface (Kristen Scott Thomas?) where their respective spouses die in a plane crash which has similarities - although, I hasten to add, the actual story is quite, quite different.
But really, this is the story of a middle-aged woman in a dreary marriage blossoming and finding her wings.
I liked the story, it was well-written and enjoyable to read. Apparently I read this over a decade ago, like the other books in this 'series' but I decided to reread and honestly I didn't get a feeling of deja vu. My only gripe is that text-speak has moved on and no-one says 'I want 2 C U' and things like that any more with predictive text.
Most of all I thought the end was very abrupt. I kept flicking back and forth on my kindle convinced I'd missed a chapter or two. Again, I didn't feel that the ending was so abrupt - more like not getting bogged down in how things would really work LOL.
Anyway, read on my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
