Ben is a journalist who moves back home after his mother’s death. It’s believed she took her own life after dealing with the aftermath of her son’s murder. But what if it wasn’t a suicide? After Ben’s brother’s killer is found dead, Ben starts to question what really happened. Ben starts digging into the past, questioning people as if he’s writing an article. But is he ready to discover the truth?

Twelve Secrets is a slow moving mystery. Do not expect twists and suspense one every page. There is quite a bit of detail, with a lot of characters in the book. Everyone had their own backstory and some were intertwined. At times I felt there was so much going on that I couldn’t keep track. I wanted to love this one, but it was an average read for me.
