The Last Secret by Mary McGarry Morris


This is a favorite author of mine, so I was really excited to read another of her books. "Songs in Ordinary Time," "A Dangerous Woman," "The Lost Woman," and "Vanished" - I read them all. She's a great writer, a favorite of mine.

It took me way too long to read this book. Not sure why - just too busy I guess. I think it would have been much better if I had read it in a week, instead of three weeks. It was a good and compelling story but the drama was lost because I took too long to read it. I did read the conclusion in one setting and it was unsettling.

The book deals with secrets and deception and the consequences therein. The ending was very unsettling. At times I did not know if I liked or hated the main character, Nora. Did she do the right thing? Should she have "fessed up" earlier?
