Fueled by her desperate need to get even with the woman she blames for the destruction of her family, Marin embarks on a dark and dangerous journey toward truth and justice, caring little for what it may cost her. At first, Marin is shocked, but it doesn’t take long for that shock to turn to rage. He’s been having an affair for the past several months, and signs point to his mistress’s possible involvement in Sebastian’s abduction. Unfortunately, the investigator doesn’t seem to be having any better luck, until she learns a startling secret about Derek. She moves through each day, doing the bare minimum of what’s expected of her, waiting for the phone call that will tell her Sebastian has been found safe and sound.Īfter the FBI fails to turn up promising leads, Marin hires a private detective to continue the search. Derek seems to be traveling for business more often than not, and while there’s a part of Marin that misses the closeness they once shared, an even bigger part of her can’t be bothered to try to rekindle their relationship.
Marin and her husband Derek rarely speak these days. She blames herself for Sebastian’s disappearance, and the only thing that keeps her going is the slim hope that he’ll be found someday. Now the FBI case has grown cold and Marin is struggling to stay afloat in the face of her crippling grief. He was last seen at a local shopping mall where Marin lost track of him in the few seconds it took her to answer an incoming phone call. It’s been a year since Marin Mochado last laid eyes on her four-year-old son Sebastian. On the surface, it’s another in a very long line of thrillers centered around a missing child, but once you start reading, it doesn’t take long to realize that Hillier has done something fresh and completely unique with this well-used trope.
Little Secrets is the latest novel of domestic suspense from author Jennifer Hillier, and I was blown away by its twistiness.
