Holly gets a much-longed-for and deserved promotion at work. But pretty soon it becomes clear that someone is very unhappy about her success....but who?

Tell Me A Secret is a gripping and compelling novel about the dark side of female friendship and the knife-edges of office politics and relationships. I did pick the twist pretty quickly but I think that just comes with my job ;) but having said that, it didn't stop me tearing my way through the whole thing in less than a day!

Highly recommended, perfect escapist reading.

With thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC.

I'v  enjoyed reading the Jane Fallon books I have ventured into so far and this one is the same. 
The main characters are relatable and while not perfect, women you can't help like.  
Holly was a lovely character and her story was what kept me reading.
If you’re into work drama and friendship issues, you’ll enjoy going through Holly’s daily life and the office goings on.

Got hardly any work done over two days, because I had to read this instead. Absolutely compelling.

DNF.

Couldn’t get into this book at all, didn’t enjoy the story line or find it gripping in any way.

Fallon is very good at giving enough information that the reader can figure out what is going on, but without making her protagonist seem like a complete lost cause. Very tricky needle to thread that.

I had never read a book by Jane Fallon before but this was fantastic!

It was an easy-read about friendship, betrayal, revenge and all the things we find in between. I found the plot interesting and real and the relationship between co-workers mirrored real life as well. This is not a thriller but it made my heart beat faster. I will be buying some of Fallon's previous titles because her writing is really addictive. Highly recommended.
