I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a review.  "The Secret" by S.L. Pierce was a very good suspenseful murder thriller.  This book kept me interested and wanting to know what happens next.  Gwen Michaels is a tough strong women with a take no prisoners attitude.  I loved the storyline, which felt completely believable.  The start of the story reeled me in.  All the dialog and how the story unfolded kept me reading.  Gwen being a former intelligence agent/assassin attacked in her home and, in turn, kills her attacker.  From the point, she is trying to find out why a hit was put out on her.  Gwen's husband, Jack, had no idea of Gwen's past.  While Gwen is investigating the reason someone tried to kill her, she also is informing Jack about her past.  I love that fact that Jack was ultimately accepting of Gwen's past, he wasn't a wimp or a pushover.I look forward to reading more from this author, and hope that future novels are laid out this well and all the questions are answered like in this novel.  The other thing I didn't get is the officer looking into Gwen and the gunshot sounds.  He didn't seem really very relevant to the story and could have been left out.
