Reviews
"The reader's heart sinks and pulse races as the author . . . teases out the true story. Marwood is emerging as a first-rate teller of twisted tales and 'don't let it be so' suspense. Think Minette Walters and Barbara Vine with a little Gillian Flynn thrown in." -- Booklist "For readers who prefer their psychological thrillers dark, twisty, and filled with loathsome people, Marwood serves up the perfect dish." -- Kirkus Reviews " The Darkest Secret is Alex Marwood's best book yet--no small thing when one considers that her first two crime novels were both award winners. Her plots are always top-notch - deft, twisty - but it's the humanity she grants all her characters that makes her one of our best. This story will grip you to the final page, but Milly and her troubled family may never leave you." --Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of What the Dead Know and Every Secret Thing "With the psychological acuity of Kate Atkinson and a dark wit all her own, Alex Marwood draws us into The Darkest Secret with utter narrative cunning, then surprises with its emotional wallop, its deeper resonances. In so doing, she demonstrates, without a doubt, that she is one of crime fiction's brightest stars. Not to be missed." --Megan Abbott, Edgar award winning authof of Dare Me and The Fever "At turns suspenseful, chilling and deeply, unexpectedly moving, The Darkest Secret is a true tour de force. Alex Marwood's richly detailed, heartbreakingly human characters will stay with you long after the book's shocking conclusion. I loved it." --Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author of the Brenna Spector Series "With The Darkest Secret , Alex Marwood has become one of my must-read crime writers. It's an amazingly gripping book, and the structure is a thing of beauty." --Sophie Hannah, internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Dead Lie Down "Simply tremendous, so tense and packed with pathos. I loved every page of it." --Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin and No Other Darkness, "Brilliant." -- The Atlantic "Cutting expertly from past to present among a cast of deliriously unpleasant characters, Marwood''s devilishly plotted tale arrives at an unexpectedly moving, human climax before its utterly devastating epilogue. . . . As much a black comedy of contemporary bad manners as psychological thriller, The Darkest Secret is a triumph and a treat." -- The Irish Times "A tense, poignant and ingeniously crafted mystery about a missing child, toxic relationships and family secrets." -- The Guardian (selected for "If you only buy one" crime novel for summer 2016) "Unsettling . . . cleverly plotted and gripping." --The Sunday Mirror "A riveting read. Alex Marwood [is] the killer thriller writer. . . . Rarely have I found a book so unputdownable." --The Sunday Independent "Jackson, an identical twin, is just three years old when she goes missing. But, as the plot begins to thicken, it reveals a far more complex story than simply one of abduction by an unknown person. . . . The mystery does not give up its secrets easily. . . . compellingly told." --The Daily Mail "A book you will feel you have to finish as soon as you start reading it. A thriller with twists and turns that keep you fascinated right to the very end." --The Mature Times "She won an Edgar Award for her word of mouth bestseller The Wicked Girls and a Macavity Award for The Killer Next Door. Now Marwood intrigues with another tastily twisty thriller." --The Evening Telegraph "It''s a cliché, but I really could hardly put down this excellent new thriller by Brit Alex Marwood. [A] twist- and passion-filled mystery." --The Cleveland Plain Dealer "The reader''s heart sinks and pulse races as the author . . . teases out the true story. Marwood is emerging as a first-rate teller of twisted tales and ''don''t let it be so'' suspense. Think Minette Walters and Barbara Vine with a little Gillian Flynn thrown in." -- Booklist "For readers who prefer their psychological thrillers dark, twisty, and filled with loathsome people, Marwood serves up the perfect dish." -- Kirkus Reviews "Compulsively readable. . . . Marwood shifts time periods effortlessly and created a noxious cast of characters." -- Publishers Weekly " The Darkest Secret is Alex Marwood''s best book yet--no small thing when one considers that her first two crime novels were both award winners. Her plots are always top-notch--deft, twisty--but it''s the humanity she grants all her characters that makes her one of our best.

Synopsis
"If there has been a better mystery-suspense story written in this decade, I can't think of it . . . transcend s] the genre." --Stephen King "A cruel and cunning mystery . . .
