Review

‘Fatal Secrets’ is a blistering start to a brand new series from Anita Waller! I loved it - brilliant characters that have a great dynamic between them, a twisty thriller that keeps you guessing till the end and I can't wait for the next instalment. I flew through this in one sitting and especially loved the bond between the three main characters.

Matt Forrester followed his dad into the police force but never did he think he would have to say investigate his own dad’s murder. Retired from the force after a failed assassination he set up his own private investigation firm with an old friend. Matt now needs to see if it was any of this firm's cases that led to his murder. But when Matt is taken off the case he has a huge decision to make - carry on investigating the case even if it costs him everything… Teamed up with his sister Hermia and best friend Steve, Matt jumps right in!

It's rare that I gel with a team straight away in a series but I just fell for them from the get-go! The dynamic between the three of them was one of love, trust and undying support and we all need a bit of that in our lives, don't we? I think having the goal of working out who killed their father gave them a cohesive train of thought and belief in what they were doing, I wonder if that will continue in the series. It will be interesting to see how their relationships develop, especially with the mixture of family and romantic relationships!

This was one fast-paced book, from the opening chapters to the final resolution the reader barely has time to take a breath before the next revelation occurs! It makes for an exciting and addictive read and I for one can't wait for the next book!

Let me know if you read this one.
