3 posts | 3 read
Set in the upscale DC private school scene, where silence can easily be bought, Aggie Blum Thompson's All the Dirty Secrets asks how far you would go to protect your status and your family, and if some secrets should ever be revealed. One warm summer night twenty-five years ago, Liza Gold and her friends celebrated their high school graduation with a party on the beach. It should have been the best night of their lives, only one of them never came back out of the ocean. The tragedy haunted Liza Gold for years. Now, she's a recently divorced working mom struggling to connect with her standoffish teenager daughter Zoe when history repeats itself. Another young woman has drowned at Beach Week, and this time the victim is Zoes secret best friend. Liza begins to suspect that the two deaths are somehow related, which causes her to face hard truths and take an unflinching look at the people shes called her closest friends for the past two decades. She must discover what really happened to both women before its too late. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pickpick

This novel had several twists and turns in it. Many of the characters had grown up together. The story takes the reader from life for them in the 1990s and into today‘s life with their own children. Life certainly didn‘t follow all the classic lines in either of these timeframes. The author does note there are references to sexual abuse and the topic of suicide comes up. If those are triggers you may want to read something else.

An enjoyable summer read, Thompson weaves a compelling mystery about two drowning deaths 28 years apart. Predictable at times, this is fast-paced and had me turning the pages to know the truth. Some of the characters were frustrating, but I really felt for the first girl that died. The secrets here are big and juicy. You‘ll be infuriated by the role that privilege plays and left wondering what you don‘t know about the people closest to you. 3⭐️

Friends from high school head out to beach week before graduation and one drowns. Her death seemed to be an accident but years later another student dies at the same beach week. Lots of old secrets come out and the past and present collide.
