About this listen

There are some secrets you can never tell.

The last thing to go through Dominique Thomas's head was the image of her teenage daughter's face and her heart lifted. Then the shot rang out.

They were the perfect family. Successful businessman Ben Thomas and his wife Dominique live an enviable life, along with their beautiful children: teenager Ruby and quirky younger daughter Mouse.

But on Christmas Day the police are called to their London home, only to discover a horrific scene: the entire family lying lifeless, victims of an unknown assailant.

But when Ruby's diary is discovered, revealing her rage at the world around her, police are forced to look closer to home for the key to this tragedy.

Each family member harboured their own dark truths - but has keeping their secrets pushed Ruby to the edge of sanity? Or are there darker forces at work?

This dark, gripping psychological thriller will have you holding your breath until the very last minute. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie, and The Girl on the Train will be captivated.

Didn’t see that end coming!

This has been the best story I have heard so far. It sends a very strong message of just how dangerous social media can be..and how lies, greed, mental illness

A great story.

Lots of very sad circumstances that could have been so easily avoided if only people would talk to each other. Good story and a sad ending.

What a story full of wanting to kill.

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

I cannot imagine

What was most disappointing about Barbara Copperthwaite’s story?

Formulaic and cliched. Basically the plot was the same as the Girl On The Train or every other best seller of the last 2 years

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Her Last Secret?

All

Every cliche imaginable. So bad it was laughable
