Secrets: A Lesbian Thriller

A relaxing road trip turns to terror as a serial killer decides to make her next.

Marsha Taylor hits the road with no real destination in mind other than away from her life as it is imploding on her. Almost immediately she meets a fellow traveler, Jessie, who needs a lift as she has been hitchhiking and is running into pervert trouble. Jessie is a breath of fresh air with her youth and laughter minus the bursts of fear and lies she spouts almost every time you ask her a personal question. Taylor is letting it go though, because she is not a cop anymore and Jessie is not a PI case. It is not until a series of incidents happen which strand the ladies with no car, no assistance, and no idea what is going on that Taylor starts to demand the truth. In the meantime the local cops are chasing a serial killer who may or may not be working within their department. Just who is tracking the ladies? Someone from Jessie's past? Someone from Marsha's cases? Or the serial killer? Or something worse?

Barbara Winkes makes Secrets a gripping suspense book that you do not want to put down until you know who the killer is and whether everyone is going to live. Winkles keeps us guessing throughout the book even though she shares the thoughts of the killer, we have no clue as to the identity until the cops do which is great. The relationship between Marsha and Jessie is not rushed and it could be as both characters are going through a vulnerable time in their own lives, but Winkles gives these characters a chance and it is nice. There are some surprises from the past and one that is really surprising and it adds depth to Marsha's character where she has self-doubt. There is action, terror, and a build-up as to whether anybody is going to save the day. This is a thoroughly enjoyable read and I recommend it for your beach read list.
