Mystery
At once a captivating mystery, a love letter to classic
literature, and a sharp-eyed examination of marriage, The
Book of Secrets is a gripping novel of family,
friendship, and the undeniable pull of the past.
After more than twenty years of marriage, Chloe
Sinclair comes home one night to find that her husband,
Nate, is gone. All he has left behind is a cryptic note
explaining that he’s returned to their childhood town, a
place Chloe never wants to see again. While
trying to reach Nate, Chloe stumbles upon a notebook tucked
inside his antique copy of The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. Written in code, the pages contain long-buried
secrets from their past, and clues to why he went home after
all these years. As Chloe struggles to decipher the
notebook’s hidden messages, she revisits the seminal moments
of their youth: the day she met the enigmatic Sinclair
children ane the increasingly dangerous games they played to
escape their troubled childhoods; the first time Nate kissed
her, camped out on the beach like Robinson Crusoe; and the
elaborate plan she and Nate devised, inspired by Romeo
and Juliet, to break away from his oppressive father. As
the reason for Nate’s absence comes to light, the truth will
forever shatter everything Chloe knows—about her husband,
his family, and herself.
