"The Secret," by Jan Warburton is aptly named. Warbuton manages to keep the secret until the last page and the surprise ending. The heroine, Fran, and her best of friends, beautiful Ellie have their ups and downs with the men in their lives, with plenty of great sex, illicit and otherwise. Fran is an interior designer with a reality TV show. We are treated to the makeover of houses, flats and offices. Fran is a chocoholic who can eat whole candy bars without losing her fabulous, though well padded figure. I enjoyed their eating out at Indian restaurants with the resulting exotic dishes. The story takes place in London and other places in the UK, with a side trip to a villa in sunny Spain.All but one of the main characters are British, that one being an exotic, tiny, young and beautiful Chinese girl name Liu, who causes some tense moments between Fran and her lover-beau.Dorothy May Mercer, author, Leon and Esther
