Secrets She Kept by Christy Barritt is the continuing sage of Duke and Andi. This time around, the story focuses on Duke and Celeste, his ex-fiancé, who went missing. As the story progresses, readers are going to come head-to-head with more of what was going on to make her disappear. Barritt does a wonderful job at keeping the action at a high level throughout the entire story. Characters are friends from a familiar, yet hauntingly realistic show that fans have come to adore and wonder what really happened before the story began. Barritt has been building this story world and conflict from the first book, so it will be nice to see how she wraps it all up during the eighth book. Overall, Secrets She Kept by Christy Barritt wraps readers in a world of technology gone wrong and how well do we really know others. I enjoyed this story.

I received a complimentary copy of Secrets She Kept by Christy Barritt, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Duke McAllister, one of the True Crime podcast team, still seeks information about his missing fiancée, Celeste Dawson, and this books brings more light to the ongoing mystery. Could Celeste be part of the rash of mercy killings in several states? And did she desert Duke or was she forced to leave? The suspense and the intensity ramp up in book 7 of the True Crime Junkies series. I never figured out who was behind it all. I suggest reading this thrilling series in order for ultimate enjoyment. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.1 Rebecca2,027 142

"A thought circled in his mind.
A thought he didn't want to acknowledge.
A thought he certainly didn't want to speak out loud.
Because the idea seemed preposterous.
It didn't make sense.
Then again, a lot of things happening lately didn't make sense."

Duke McAllister had been faithfully searching for his missing fiance following her mysterious disappearance over two years prior . . . . .long enough for his heart to have disconnected? Maybe. Brilliant, beautiful, stubborn-as-a-mule Andi Slade had slipped into his life and taken root, supporting his efforts to find Celeste while not demanding anything more of him than a friendship sporting a special bond. But neither Duke nor Andi nor any member of their Arctic Circle Murder Club podcast team were prepared for the news release . . . . accusing Celeste of being a murderer.

" . . . he knew God was still there. Even when Duke couldn't see Him or feel Him, that didn't mean He had disappeared."

Such a tangled web! In fact, not in one million, zillion years would I have imagined how this story was going to turn out. This author and this series . . . her signature style . . . . and brilliant plotting, are absolutely, without a doubt, perfectly matched!5 s Allyson Anthony618 32

Duke McAllister has been searching for his fiancée Celeste Dawson who had vanished two years ago. When Celeste pops up in the news, is she somehow connected to a series of mercy killings? As the Arctic Circle Murder Club investigates, the more Duke dives into this investigation hoping for answers and wanting to know if Celeste is innocent or guilty.
The Secrets She Kept has twists and turns that will have you keep reading until the end and has plenty of action and intrigue. Loved how Duke and Andi's relationship with each other has grown, even though he wanted closure and answers about Celeste's disappearance and involvement in the mercy killings. Looking forward to the next installment in this series. Sherry883 8

Lotta closure

Throughout the seven book series (so far) Duke has been looking for his fiancée, who mysteriously disappeared only three months into their engagement. Since meeting Andi, he has been torn between loyalty to his promise to the fiancée yet realizing his growing feelings for Andi. The murder club podcast has been under the odd sponsorship of a rich man, who wants to direct the way the club does business. This book settled Duke's quest but left Andi's quest still hanging. It is hopeful that her desire to bring a bad man to justice will come to fruition in the concluding book, still to come. Sandra Hartzel1,071 8

I had an ARC for this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Former Army Investigator, Duke McAllister continues to look for his fiancé who has been missing for two years. Former lawyer and friend, Andi Slade is helping, but she is also investigating someone too. When she gets trapped in the back of a van, she texts him to rescue her. When the missing Celeste is accused of murdering people in several states, they look more intently for her especially when she is leaving notes, and being seen. Steeped in suspense and mystery this book follows as Duke and Andi look into murders, secrets, and betrayal. It’s one of those books you can’t put down and want to solve all the clues.

THE SECRETS SHE KEPT

As Duke & Andi grow closer, sightings of Celeste keep pushing them away from each other. As they are at a gas station, a news story comes on about a woman wanted in CA for the murder of seriously ill patients. The story goes on to say Celeste under an alias of Kelly Hanson at a CA hospital. Duke is stunned. He can't believe it! He is torn between a relationship with Andi & Celeste, who seems to have resurfaced yet again. As the news story continues to appear on the news channels, Duke's picture appears & the reporter wonders if Duke has been helping his fiancee commit the murders or if he is hiding her.
Another great True Crime Junkies Books! Debra Fletcher215 1 follower

I didn't think this series could get any better, was I ever wrong!

Duke's story is just him, mysterious, dark, hunky and soft at the sane time. He is about convinced that Celeste was using him and its time to move when she reappears in his life. Andi was about ready to throw out her theory that Duke needed closure with alk the questions answered. Then Andi gets taken and Duke must save her just in time.
I couldn't put it down once I started I had to see where it was going and I wasn't disappointed! Can't wait for Andi's story! Ashley Johnson542 34

This story continues to frustrate me as I felt that the series as a whole had great potential and isn’t delivering. This felt rushed and haphazardly thrown together, largely giving the upper hand to the villains. Once again the importance given to Andi, a truly unlikable character was off putting. The podcast team were once again stage props for the Duke and Andi show and I truly wish that they had been allowed to really shine in this series. The explanation for a 7 book long mystery was so out of left field that it felt I was cheated as a reader. Joy29 1 follower

So good!

When you read a lot of suspense, things can become pretty predictable. This book was anything but! It was action packed from the first page, with countless twists and turns. I was so happy to finally have the conclusion to the Celeste situation! It was worth the wait. Make sure you read the first 6 books in the series before reading this book. You won’t be disappointed! Kalyn Thomas137 17

I don’t want this series to stop!

I loved how finally Duke got the answers he needed and the closure that came from finding out the truth about Celeste. And hopefully Alpine is gone for good and maybe the Murder Club can set out to do what they do best. Andi I believe will bring Victor down! What a good read once again. The only downfall was it was a bit more scientific but the storyline wasn’t that far fetched when you consider today’s society. Mark1,872 46

I honestly didn't think I was going to this series at first, but it just keeps getting better and better with each book.

This one may be the best yet. This book finally brings the Celeste saga to a close, and there are a ton of twists and turns as the team tries to find the truth, while trying to stay alive.
And there are some surprises along the way.

This book also brought the whole team back together.
Excellent read, and I am looking forward to the last book coming out in June. Jamie Hawk13

Duke and Andi

Now I can honestly say, who did it took me to the very last chapter for me to go Oh what a ding dong I am. This is such an action packed book. If you blink, loose your place etc, you will need to back up and read the chapter again. (It’s hard to read and watch a Baseball game on TV at the same time). Enjoy enjoy enjoy. Great mystery Christy Barritt. Debbie358 8

Thrilling suspense continues as this series gets involved in more danger and keeps you wondering who and what is going to happen. Christy Barritt knows how to keep the suspense going and not giving away any clues. I’m totally looking forward to Book 8, Most ly to Die. Who will it be???

Great clean suspense with a Christian faith message woven throughout. Sandra Arbeni139 6

With each edition, the danger and confusion escalates. Finally, there are some significant answers for Duke. But hang on, the twists resemble Danger Ahead signs on a mountain pass.
