Fifteen years ago, four teenage girls made a pact to bury the truth about what happened on a pitch-black night in the woods.

They swore they would never speak of it again.

Now, as adults, they reunite to restart their old book club. At first, it feels nostalgic. Harmless. Safe.

Until an advance reader copy of a psychological thriller arrives in the mail.

The novel is written by a famous reclusive author no one has seen in years. But as the women begin reading, the story hits terrifyingly close to home.

Scene by scene.
Page by page.
The book reveals their darkest secret with chilling accuracy.


Someone knows what they did.

As paranoia spreads through their tight-knit group, friendships crack, marriages unravel, and long-buried lies rise to the surface. Everyone is hiding something. Everyone has a motive. And someone will do anything to keep the past buried.

Because this time, their secret might not stay hidden.

The Book Club’s Secret is a twist-filled psychological thriller packed with shocking revelations, toxic friendships, buried secrets, and nonstop suspense.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Riley Sager, Daniel Hurst, and twisty domestic psychological thrillers.
