I'm really looking forward to this one! I absolutely LOVED The Forgotten Garden and have read everything Kate Morton has written.
I've never read Kate Morton but this one hit my radar and it looks quite good.
I love how Kate Morton writes about family secrets which cross generations. There is a love story usually involved too.
I am reading it right now, about 100 pages in. It is SO good. Really starts off with a bang and sucks you in from the get go!
I already want to know what secrets The Secret Keeper holds! There always seems to be at least one dark family secret in everyone's past, it's how dark that secret is that makes for a great story. I know that Kate Morton never disappoints and am looking forward to finding out what Laurel's Mum has been hiding!
I received an advance copy :)

During a party at the family farm in the English countryside, sixteen-year-old Laurel Nicolson has escaped to her childhood tree house and is dreaming of the future. She spies a stranger coming up the road and sees her mother speak to him. Before the afternoon is over, Laurel will witness a shocking crime that challenges everything she knows about her family and especially her mother, Dorothy.
Now, fifty years later, Laurel is a successful and well-regarded actress, living in London. She returns to the family farm for Dorothy’s ninetieth birthday and finds herself overwhelmed by questions she has not thought about for decades. From pre-WWII England through the Blitz, to the fifties and beyond, discover the secret history of three strangers from vastly different worlds—Dorothy, Vivien, and Jimmy—who meet by chance in wartime London and whose lives are forever entwined.
The Secret Keeper explores longings and dreams, the lengths people go to fulfill them, and the consequences they can have. It is a story of lovers, friends, dreamers, and schemers told—in Morton’s signature style—against a backdrop of events that changed the world.
