Larry's Got a Secret picks up where Nina's Got A Secret left off. After the accident, blackmail and pain Nina and Larry do what they can to resume some normalcy in their marriage and life. But at this point nothing is normal anymore. The trust in their marriage has been compromised.  Larry hardly comes home and when he is home, speaking to Nina is a challenge. But his relationship with Precious his stepdaughter has grown tighter since the accident. Nina is so consumed with guilt she keeps herself holed up in her bedroom that is until she notices a suspicious exchange between family members.Larry has a visit from his past that could threaten the life he lives today. Desperate to protect his secret and short on time Larry plans the unthinkable. This visitor gives us several clues about Larry's character and what stood out for me was the fact that I now understand how a man forgives his wife for such a grievance she committed.Mr. Smith has given the readers what they asked for; a sequel to Nina's Got A Secret. But this is one reader who was content when I closed the cover of Nina Got A Secret. Let me reach out to speak about the past for a moment and say Brian you did a wonderful job showing how difficult a decision like this could be for a mom. However for me, Nina it was your motives not the act itself, that kept me talking.In my opinion the commentary between Larry and his friend Tee was forced into the story it didn't flow easy. I felt like it was more of an explanation of past events rather than an addition to the current story.Larry's Got A Secret Too was a quick read with characters that were opposites of one another which keep the story moving. The one thing they both had in common was the lesson in the plan which is secrecy can remain a secret ONLY if you are the only person with the information.Thank you for bringing readers Larry's side and adding Nina's thoughts to this complicated death.To read Nina's story and her secret read Nina's Got A Secret, phew so many secretsMissyReaders Paradise
