The Secrets You Hide is a nail-biting psychological thriller for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl On The Train and Before I Go To Sleep.
Psychiatrist Robert Walker leads the perfect life. Or, at least, that is what he would have the world believe. But hidden behind the facade of happiness and calm is an obsession...a secret that he has been hiding even from the people closest to him.
His world will come crashing down when an anonymous adversary threatens to expose what he has concealed for years. Robert will learn that every secret has to come out in the open someday.
The question is, what price will he pay for hiding it?

Good premise for a story...
This book started out interestingly enough, but as it progressed it became very complicated, heavy, and predictable. The discussions about obsessions and how we all have them were not informative. The story becomes complex. Without the explanation provided by the writer, I felt like a spectator. The writing style is not my cup of tea, and I am not excited by additional work from this author. Will not be reading it again to try to "get" it. That being said, if you like psychosis stories that are predictable yet weighted down, stories that the majority of people won't get and will find boring, then this may be the perfect book for you. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I thought the story was good, but nothing great. I like when a story starts off grabbing your interest with a shocking beginning and this book took until a few chapters in to tell you what the story was about. It was told through journal entries, which was an interesting way to tell the story.Although the characters were developed nicely, without giving anything away here, I didn't think the ending was believable for someone with OCD. The only realistic thing I saw in this story was the main character doing everything he can to save his family, even losing sleep, which I think any of us would do. Other than that, it was just ok. Nothing great, but not bad.

Loved the obsession with Psychology and thrill
In comparison to his other thriller story - The Kill, this was tad short of thrill but the characters' portrayal is amazing. The reflection of obsession as an essence and destruction is the catch of story. After all, we all are obsessed with something ;)

Decent story but didn't like the ending
I downloaded this book for free and the story was interesting but I didn't like the way it was told in journal entries. I also didn't like the ending. Overall, the story was ok, not bad, but I have read better, more gripping stories that start off within the first paragraph by grabbing my attention to the point that I needed to read on. I didn't feel that way with this book. This book took until after about the first few journal entries to do that.

Very gripping and unique psychological thriller. I believe it might not appeal to everyone's tastes because it does not have loads of characters like other novels but it reminded me of movies like Memento which were based on a very limited set of characters and the interplay between them.

An awesome physiological thriller that will keep you hooked. I usually read before bedtime, and this book made sure I was awake way past my bedtime.

Gripping Story
This book took me for quite a ride. I couldn't wait to see where the author was taking me. And I was not let down. Great Read!

The title says it All
I read this in two sittings! I started one evening and finished it next afternoon, it was that gripping. The title said it all. .

Predictable predictable predictable. I'm not really a big fan of journal themed chapters and this ENTIRE book was one journal entry.
