Virginia Macgregor, writing as Nina Monroe, returns to Gibson's Bookstore to present her suspense debut in The Children's Secret! Set in New Hampshire, Virginia has been working on this book for years to get it just right.
In the vein of Big Little Lies, Nina Monroe's suspense debut explores the dangerous side of suburbia.
Nothing ever happens in a sleepy town like Middlebrook. Until the residents are shaken to their core, when one hot Saturday afternoon, at a back-to-school party, nine children sneak into a barn...and only eight come out unharmed.
The press immediately starts asking questions. What type of parents let their children play unsupervised in a house with guns? What kind of child pulls the trigger on their friend? And most importantly: of the nine children who were present in that barn, which one actually pulled the trigger, and why are the others staying silent?
Incredibly gripping and gorgeously written, this thought-provoking novel asks how much our children are capable of, and how far we will go to protect them.
