Every Secret Thing
By Susanna Kearsley
(also writing under pen name Emma Cole)
Genre: Fiction, Mystery
Set in England, Lisbon, Portugal, and Washington, DC, the story follows Kate Murray on a journey that begins after she meets a mysterious, kind old man, who knows her name and her grandmother. She watches as he's hit by a car in London. Kate uses her journalistic instinct to unravel the mystery, pursuing unanswered questions. Along the way, losses abound, but she continues her search for the truth. She delves deeper into a cover-up during WWII, events in the early spy services of Canada and the intrigue on the "neutral" ground of Portugal.
The plot sounds complex, but this is actually a light and enjoyable read. Loved the description of Lisbon--made me want to go there for sure!
