The Secret She Keeps by Michael Robotham
Agatha
is pregnant and works part-time stocking shelves at a grocery store in a
ritzy London suburb, counting down the days until her baby is due. As
the hours of her shifts creep by in increasing discomfort, the one thing
she looks forward to at work is catching a glimpse of Meghan, the
effortlessly chic customer whose elegant lifestyle dazzles her. Meghan
has it all: two perfect children, a handsome husband, a happy marriage, a
stylish group of friends, and she writes perfectly droll confessional
posts on her popular parenting blog—posts that Agatha reads with
devotion each night as she waits for her absent boyfriend, the father of
her baby, to maybe return her calls.
When Agatha learns that
Meghan is pregnant again, and that their due dates fall within the same
month, she finally musters up the courage to speak to her, thrilled that
they now have the ordeal of childbearing in common. Little does Meghan
know that the mundane exchange she has with a grocery store employee
during a hurried afternoon shopping trip is about to change the course
of her not-so-perfect life forever…
Loved this book! Right from the get go, I knew this was going to be a great thriller and keep me engrossed throughout. 400+ pages and I flew through this one relativity quick - a total page turner. I loved the alternating chapters with Agatha and Meghan's perspectives. This is my first book from Michael Robotham and I will definitely be purchasing more. Agatha is a complete psycho and super creepy. I was pretty happy with the ending although I do wish Agatha would have gotten her ass beat. 100% recommend to anyone who loves a good thriller/page turner!
