The Secrets We Hide: Key Ideas, Insights & Lessons | PageCraft Summaries

What happens when every clue points toward a different suspect, and the truth is hiding somewhere nobody wants to look?

In Karin Slaughter’s The Secrets We Hide, acting sheriff Emmy Clifton is pulled into a disturbing case when former detective Allison Vickery is found murdered and her teenage daughter Mandy is left critically injured. An abusive marriage, hidden money, old police corruption, dangerous men, and secrets stretching back decades give Emmy more possible answers than she knows what to do with. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that solving this crime may require confronting painful truths much closer to home.
