One Last Secret: From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of Both Of You comes a gripping psychological crime thriller

Twist and turns keeps you turning the pages!

I was attracted to the title of this book and so far, it is proving to be a good read, with the desire to keep reading. I am about half way through.

Absolutely loved this book and recommended and loved by friends. If you like a bit of a sex / mystery / cheating / love story / survival type book then this is for you

These jars are really useful. Dropped one a couple of times without breaking and they seem sturdy enough.Very versatile and can be used for various different produce. Can be used for fridge and pantry storage. Currently I use for coffee beans and ground coffee labeling the different coffee brands.Recommended.

Rating: 4.3/5Adele Parks has a very fluent, engaging style of writing that invariably makes for entertaining reading. Her latest offering, "One Last Secret" is no exception. This is now her 22nd novel and it has been noticeable that in recent years the content has tended to have a slightly darker tinge to it at times. That is, once again, the case here as we are introduced to a lead character in the form of Dora, who plies her trade as a high-end escort who also offers extra services to her well-heeled clients.The author's use of characterisation is, as I have come to expect, top notch and the portrayal of Dora is particularly impressive. This is perhaps just as well, as Dora is primarily responsible for conveying the narrative, although there are also brief interjections from the viewpoints of four other characters at various points. It wasn't long before I had found myself fully drawn into Dora's world and was feeling both sympathetic and empathetic towards her.The pace of the novel is excellent. I barely felt as though I had sat down to start the book before I found that I was already halfway through the 384 pages. It has to be said that there is a little bit of a gear change when the story shifts back to a point eleven years earlier in order to provide some essential background information. However, these sections are also well-handled and give insights into Dora's personal history that is quite moving.It would be highly unusual if there weren't plenty of twists and turns in a novel by Adele Parks and so it will come as no surprise that "One Last Secret" has its fair share of them too. Some require disbelief to be suspended a touch, but on the whole the author stays within the boundaries of acceptable fictional parameters. Adele Parks also has a way of almost casually dropping unexpected developments into the narrative - almost like an aside - but it is a mechanic that works wonderfully well and has tremendous impact.If you have read and enjoyed Adele Parks' work previously, then I have little doubt that you will be more than satisfied with her efforts this time around too.

Remember when you were a child and you would scamper down a really steep grass slope?You would go faster and faster until suddenly your legs were out of control and you finished up in a heap.This book’s the same.It sets off at a cracking pace with a call girl and her exotic clients. It gathers pace as her life takes a shocking turn. But then the story collapses into a totally unbelievable shambles.Even the twist in the final chapter is likely to have you thinking ‘Oh, right’, rather than ‘Oh, wow!'Only for readers who don't mind a lurid yarn running out of control, and who enjoy escapism which is pure hokum.

This was the opposite of a Pretty Woman-type fairy story. To be fair, it didn’t promise to be, but I was still surprised by how grim it was in places. It was hard to warm to any of the characters and the story was a bit contrived. But I did read to the end as I was interested to find out what happened after all the unsavoury incidents. The finale was wildly improbable and the epilogue a bit pointless. I would have liked a more hopeful resolution.

Really good read with a twist at the very end enjoyed this book great one for the beach with a cocktail
