The secrets next door by Sally Royer-Derr
Publisher: Storm Publishing
Review by: Salomé Kotzé
If what happens in other people’s homes is your thing, then this will be your type of book. The new buzz word in reader's circles is domestic noir and going by the title of this book, you won't be disappointed. I was hooked from the first page.
The new buzz word is domestic noir and the title of this book doesn’t disappoint. I was hooked from the first page. The chapters in the book are short, and manages to draw you in very early with lots of gossip, a taste of sibling rivalry, secrets and drama dripping from the pages.
Yes, the suburbs are calling, and we must answer.
The reader is introduced to twin sisters, Talia and Tabitha. They are neighbours and while they may look the same, they are quite different from each other as you quickly realise. Some chapters are written from each sister’s point of view, and with perfect descriptions you soon get the hang of their lives. And what ticks them off.
