Publisher's Summary

1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor’s deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father’s office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma’s son, who ultimately influences his uncle’s fate.

In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.

Another gripping listening experience 🎧📖👍

The third installment in the Clifton Chronicles audio book delivers another engrossing and engaging installment. Briliiant narration, plots that continue to twist and turn. You continue to be kept guessing on what will happen next. Broad collection of characters, but always easily identifiable. Keen to hear the next installment. Highly recommend!!! 🖑5 out of 5 on all fronts.

A book of two parts

This is a book of two parts. The first half seems to have lost the momentum from the the first two but specifically the first which was great and I was thinking this would be the last one in the series I would listen to. However, the second half makes a good comeback and I have now committed to listening to the forth.
