When a popular local fitness instructor is found murdered in a wealthy suburb, FBI Special Agent Stella Fall is dispatched to an ultra-exclusive Connecticut coastal town. She soon discovers the town is rife with secrets, and pulls back the veil on a circle of cheating wives who had turned their cycling class into a cult. In this insular, exclusive yacht club community, no one is talking; everything seems perfect. But behind the perfect facades, everything, Stella soon learns, is rotten to its core. This gossipy and back-biting town is hiding sinister secrets and vendettas, and Stella, recognizing it from her own past, is determined to use her brilliant mind to probe their psychology and out the killer.
Meanwhile, Stella can’t help but feel a connection to her new FBI partner. But when she is summoned to unexpectedly confront her demeaning, narcissistic mother about the secrets of her past, old wounds are stirred up in Stella’s fragile psyche, and the shocking revelations of her childhood may just derail her for good.
A fast-paced psychological suspense thriller with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding suspense, HIS OTHER SECRET is book #3 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

Stella is at her new job and suddenly she has to face her "enemy", Carrie, in the same FBI branch. There is a crime to be solved and Stella is requested to be part of the team by Maxwell. She works relentlessly in order to find the culprit. They pursue many leads and all of them end up blank, until she works out who is the murderer and the motive. The story has a good plot, is well-written, and keeps the reader on their toes till the end! Very entertaining! I was given a free copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
FBI Agent Stella is being sent to an ultra rich town, where clubs are actually cults, the secrets are rampant and so is murder. Then to have to confront her mother, her nightmare of past is threatening all she has gained. Nothing prepares Stella for what she finds and you feel for her. Riveting, good series, the cases, and the fragile side of Agent Stella Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Stella Fall is tackling cults disguised as clubs in this third book in the Stella Falls series. This novel is reminiscent of The Perfect Veil by Blake Pierce, but not as tightly woven. If I hadn’t read them so close together, I may not have compared. I also am not as big a fan of this series as her Remi Laurent series. **I received this book in exchange for an honest review. **
Another page turner by Ava Strong! The Stella Fall character just keeps getting more interesting. Thank you for the good read! I must get the rest of this series
Does not use the F word. I don’t remember hearing any curse words. Great book and looking forward to the next book in the series. Listened at 1.75 speed.
