The plot for this one isn’t the most incredible thing ever, it didn’t blow me away when I initially read the synopsis but so many positive reviews swayed me to purchase it. I knew it wasn’t going to be a 5 star review from a few chapters in, it just hadn’t grabbed me enough (but it was gripping!), but I never thought I’d knock it down from 4 stars.

The security cameras show Sebastian being spirited away from this touristy market by a Santa-like figure who perhaps promised him a treasured lollipop. Marin's eyes dart, searching for any glimpse of her little boy with his dark hair so like her own. Suddenly he's nowhere near her, and she can't spot him anywhere. She's shopping in Seattle's Pike Place Market when she loses Sebastian, her young son. A surprisingly character-driven, moody thriller, Little Secrets is ostensibly a detective story, a kidnap investigation led by main character Marin, the wealthy owner of a series of lucrative downtown salons. In a story that reflects the in-between spaces in our lives, Hillier's readable novel isn't some Sixth Sense ghost story, but it does feature people who are haunted-who are stuck, grieving, who can't seem to move forward but can't move back.
