All the Dirty Secrets

By: Aggie Blum Thompson

Narrated by: Hillary Huber, Josephine Huang

Set in the upscale DC private school scene, where silence can easily be bought, Aggie Blum Thompson's All the Dirty Secrets asks how far you would go to protect your status and your family, and if some secrets should ever be revealed.

One warm summer night twenty-five years ago, Liza Gold and her friends celebrated their high school graduation with a party on the beach. It should have been the best night of their lives, only one of them never came back out of the ocean.

The tragedy haunted Liza Gold for years. Now, she's a recently divorced working mom struggling to connect with her standoffish teenager daughter Zoe when history repeats itself. Another young woman has drowned at Beach Week, and this time the victim is Zoe’s secret best friend.

Liza begins to suspect that the two deaths are somehow related, which causes her to face hard truths and take an unflinching look at the people she’s called her closest friends for the past two decades. She must discover what really happened to both women before it’s too late.

Good story bad narrator detracted from it

The sort was decent but I didn’t like the narrator. Weird nasally voice and didn’t create suspense or emotion . Narrator matters.

Great plot twists.

Nothing comes to mind to dislike. The whiney Zoe voice can be annoying, but I get why she had to be like that.

Slow

I had a hard time finishing this story, very slow and just not very interesting

Excellent! Enjoyable! Intriguing!

All the elements necessary to capture one's attention, hold interest, and bring to the unknown conclusion...!

Disappointed.

Had promise but went downhill plot wise. The plot just didn't have momentum. The story needed to be edited better. The tension fizzled and I just got bored by the end.
