The Secret Wound - A Completely Gripping Psychological Suspense Thriller

Deirdre Quiery

Sinopse

“Ripe with truths, secrets and lies, The Secret Wound is a beautifully conjured story of the depths of the human heart.” —Richard Rohr, New York Times-bestselling author 
 
All that glitters is not gold . . . 
 
In the seemingly tranquil ex-pat community of Mallorca, a dangerous secret lies buried and a murderer hides in plain sight. 
 
When a member of the community fears their dark and deadly secret will be exposed, they plan to murder a fellow ex-pat to keep the truth concealed. Will any of the close-knit community discover the deadly plans and stop the inevitable before they are all put in grave danger? 
 
Deirdre Quiery’s gripping thriller is not just an addictive page-turner but provides a compelling exploration of human emotion and desires, and the terrible costs of jealousy and ambition. 
 
“This is an atmospheric and beautifully charged story, which moves between time frames and locations to ratchet up the building tension . . . Highly recommended. A great summer read!” —Rachel O’Connor 
 
“A beautiful story and one which I find hard to box into a genre. It is beautifully written, lyrical at times, and simply tells the story of what it is to love and to be loved. It is a story about grief and of why people choose to commit murder. The Secret Wound hooked me in from the very beginning and I was so sad to read the final words. Highly recommended.” —Brew and Books Review
