Maddy is having a hard time after losing her 5-year-old daughter to meningitis, but things get even worse when her husband Max vanishes. Police think he has taken his own life but Maddy doesn't believe this. She takes matters into her own hands to find out the truth, but she may just find out more secrets than she ever could have imagined...

This is a gripping thriller that kept me enthralled to the very end. I liked how the story moved between the past and present and I enjoyed getting to know all the characters. A recommended read.

Thanks to the publisher, author and NetGalley for the advance copy of the book.

I have been waiting for Ruby's second book to come out after reading Someone Else's Bay and I wasn't disappointed.

A great book that held my interest throughout, plenty of twists and turns with great characters and extremely well written.

Well done Ruby I look forward to number 3.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hera Publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this great book.

When Maddy's husband Max goes missing, she is distraught. Still suffering with the loss of her youngest daughter Chloe, she is resolved to find out what happened to him. Maddy ends up finding out there is a whole other side to her husband she didn't know about...

This book gripped me from the start! The action started immediately, which i find isn't the case in many books, so I really appreciated that. Enough was given away throughout that you weren't frustrated reading it, and you were kept wrapped in the story to the end. It was pacy and exciting.

I thought the character development was done really well. Seeing Maddy's shift once she started finding out things she was unaware of was done expertly.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers that are fast-paced and well developed.

A solid 4 star read for me!

My heart went out to Maddie when we first meet her. To lose a child is bad enough but then when her husband goes missing shortly after, well I could feel her whole world falling apart even further.

It’s hard to say to much about this story without giving any spoilers away. Things are not as clear cut as they first appear to be. In Maddie’s mission to discover the truth, she makes some shocking discoveries about her husband.

There is no way you can not get caught up in what is going on in Maddie’s life. There is a sense of foreboding, urging you to keep on going to see how things are going to turn out. I was desperate for Maddie and her daughter Emily to get a happy ending from all that is going on. Obviously you will have to read it for yourself to find out if they do get one or not.

Every Little Secret will leave you wondering how well you really know your partner. It makes for a compulsive read of which at times, pulled on my emotions. Who knows how any of us would react when pushed to the limit. A taut, gripping read that will have you turning the pages late into the night.

Maddy is grieving for her little girl, when her husband, Max goes missing. She's still got Emily, her small daughter and is pregnant. The story takes us on Maddy's journey to discover who her husband really is and why he has disappeared.

I found it to be a 2* OK read. It didn't grip me at all and it was a struggle to finish.
Having said that, I can see it finding it's audience, as, it's made up of quite short chapters that move back and forth in the timeline and characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to preview.

Completely destroyed by the death of her five year old little girl, Maddy Saunders is nevertheless trying to hold things together for the sake of her other child, Emily. Still, even her efforts falter when it appears that her husband Max, has committed suicide. How could Max leave her to face the future alone? Believing there has been some mistake, Maddie sets out to try to find out what really happened to her husband, but what she uncovers leaves her feeling more hurt, confused and enraged than ever. Some secrets are better never seeing the light of day
