Review: Fab Ending To Trilogy
Rating: 5 out of 5

I whizzed through this book and had finished it before I knew it. Mainly because I was stuck in bed with a stinking cold and couldn't go to the party that I was meant to attend, so I was very grateful of the welcome distraction that this third and final installment in the Secrets and Lies trilogy brought along with it. And for me, the author had kept something up her sleeve since I thought I had it all worked out but I didn't and I really enjoyed the big reveal about the main secret that led to years of lies. But obviously, I won't spoil it here by telling tales and you'll just have to read it for yourself to find out what I mean. It was an emotional story that had me gripped from book 1 and carried me through on a wave (pun intended)of feeling for the two women involved, whose lives were changed forever when they'd discovered the very existence of each other because of their husbands both being caught up in the Japanese tsunami, along with all it's devastating consequences. I also found the ending to be very fitting and hopeful, even with the after effects that a scenario like this can have on a family which was handled with great dignity. And I'm really looking forward to finding out what Joanne Clancy is writing next, seeing as I do seem to connect with her characters so readily that I know it'll be well worth my time to get my hands on any future works by this great storyteller.
