Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Complex relationships among a believable ensemble of characters give Roberts's ( Sweet Revenge ) new romantic thriller much of its appeal. Emma McAvoy, daughter of a British rock star, is only six years old when her infant half-brother Darren is murdered in a bungled kidnapping attempt. Emma, the only witness, remembers little of that night, and while investigators determine that someone close to the family was involved, the case is never solved. Nagged by fears for her safety, Emma's father has her trailed by a bodyguard whenever she is not closed away in a private school. But as she grows up, neither guards nor a loving father can protect her from the nightmares and feelings of guilt that torment her. Nor can they shield her from Darren's murderers. Although it concludes with a satisfyingly gripping finale, the mystery is more a recurring element than a driving force, as the story explores the members of McAvoy's rock group, Emma's devotion to her father (who bought custody of Emma from her abusive, alcoholic mother), her destructive marriage and the father-son detective team whose dedication to the McAvoys and this case lasts more than 20 years.

My Favorite Nora Roberts Book!,
By Susan H. Bachle (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Public Secrets (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time and the BEST book I have read by Nora Roberts. This story was not at all what I was expecting. Nora Roberts is constantly suprising me with her character variety. Almost every chapter introduces or resolves another mystery. Only during the first 50 or so pages was I struggling to stay entertained. This was only due to the character introductions. Then I couldn't stop reading! I highly recommend Public Secrets!

Good but a Little Long,
By A Customer
This review is from: Public Secrets (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book although there were some times when I couldn'd read it anymore, because it was just depressing with the drugs, child abuse, and the only family Emma ever had scattered. I was able to connect to the characters, they all seemed quite real to me, and it was a good story although they were a few places where it seemed like a soap opera that was never going to end. There were parts of this book that were not necessary at all to the point of the story. Yet despite it all, I couldn't stop reading it, I was hooked from the moment I picked it up. Once the book finally got around to issue of Emma and Michael it was sweet book, but there but things that didn't belong. An enjoyable book, but it was just to long in parts that didn't belong
