The Darkest Secret: A Novel

â€œA tense, poignant and ingeniously crafted mystery.â€Â â€”The GuardianÂ

The latest gripping psychological thriller from Edgar Award winner Alex Marwood

When a child goes missing at an opulent house party, it makes international news. But what really happens behind closed doors?
Â
Twelve years ago, Mila Jacksonâ€™s three-year-old half-sister Coco disappeared during their fatherâ€™s fiftieth birthday party. Her identical twin Ruby was left behind as the only witness. The girlsâ€™ father, Sean, was wealthy and influential, as were the friends gathered at their seaside vacation home for the weekendâ€™s debauchery. The case ignited a media frenzy and forever changed the lives of everyone involved.
Â
Now, Sean Jackson is dead, and the people who were present that terrible night must gather once more for a funeral that will reveal that the secrets of the past can never stay hidden. Perfectly paced all the way through its devastating conclusion, The Darkest SecretÂ is one that fans of Gillian Flynn and Liane Moriarty won't be able to put down.

â€œAs much a black comedy of contemporary bad manners as psychological thriller,Â The Darkest SecretÂ is a triumph and a treat.â€Â â€”The Irish TimesÂ
