Emma and Orville LaChance’s marriage is verbally and physically abusive. Emma wants a divorce, but Orville hopes to run for Governor and will fight her every step of the way. She bides her time working in her shop, 'Poke Around'. Emma and her best friend belong to an exclusive, but potentially deadly, women’s club called Secrets.

Finn Duhon is trying to recover from a betrayal. He has nightmares about the night his best friend and co-ranger tried to kill him. Finn’s mother recently died and he has come back to Pointe Judah to claim the family home, wanting to start a new life as a businessman, but also to find out the truth about his father’s death. He does not believe his former police chief father committed suicide.

Emma and Finn have not seen each other for years. Both are jogging when they make a gruesome discovery; the body of Denise Steen, a reporter for the town newspaper, who has obviously been murdered. Emma is devastated, as Denise was a friend of hers who had also belonged to Secrets. Finn and Emma are drawn together immediately. Finn suspects that Emma is in an unhappy relationship and vows to help her. One night Emma has a mysterious visitor who brings her a very strange gift. She also receives photos showing her husband’s betrayal. Is the strange visitor friend or foe? Will Emma turn to Finn for help? Will more Secret club members be murdered? Will Finn discover what really happened to his father?

Ms Cameron’s nail biting suspenseful book contains plenty of action and mystery. You will not discover the villain’s identity until the last moment. Suspicion is thrown on many of the key characters, leaving you guessing. Emma and Finn’s sweet romance soon builds to an exciting climax.
