The Secret They Kept- J.S. Ellis


Emily Clarke is in digital marketing. She recently bought a house in Greenwich and life is good. Her longtime boyfriend will be moving in soon and the neighborhood is mostly older folks making it the perfect place to work from home. Across the street from her house is a cute house with a yellow door. She hasn't met them yet and they seem to just keep to themselves.

As the story progresses, we find out that the Jones family in the house with the yellow door are little odd. The husband, although retired, spends his days away from the house. The mother, seems out of it, often staring off into space and once found wandering outside her home. The son, well he's a different story. A tall, gorgeous specimen with white hair and perfect features. The neighborhood nosy lady, Mrs. Parker, informs Emily that the Jones' once had another son and that he had gone missing some years before. 

Emily is informed that before she moved in a couple lived in her house. They were seen arguing and then the wife disappears. The husband had a solid alibi, and her disappearance was never solved. After a fight with her boyfriend, Emily cuts off all ties with him. Not long after, he disappears. Weird stuff starts happening, like a rock thrown through her window and her external hard drive is stolen. 

Three disappearances, a son, a wife and a boyfriend. Are the disappearances connected? And if they are, why? 

This was a fantastic read. Suspenseful, tense, and mysterious, this book will keep you guessing until the very end. A true page turner, I was able to read it in a few hours. If you love suspenseful mysteries like I do, then this is the book for you. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
