BOOK REVIEW: I’ll Never Tell by Catherine McKenzie @CEMcKenzie1 @AmazonPub #illnevertell @lakeunionpublishing #bookreview

Secrets, secrets hurt someone…

Wow this family had a LOT of secrets! Secrets they kept to protect themselves, secrets they kept to protect others, and secrets that can threaten to destroy everything. Suspenseful, salacious, and thrilling—I loved Catherine McKenzie’s I’ll Never Tell!

When the MacAllister children—now adults—return to camp after their parents’ sudden deaths, they hope to mourn their parents, sell the camp land, and move on finally from the place that they feel unable to escape. But their parents won’t make that easy…

The death of a teenage camper, best friends with eldest daughter Margaux, many years earlier has left a shadow over the family. Now, in their father’s will, he says that he thinks eldest son Ryan committed the murder, and the other kids must discover the truth in order to unlock the land and money.

But as they begin to sort out the details, it seems all of them have been keeping secrets. About that night and beyond…

This mystery is phenomenal. Narrated by each of the five McAllister children, the murdered girl Amanda, and the camp caretaker Sean, this one had me gripped as I tried to figure out what exactly happened to Amanda. And all of these siblings hold secrets and information about that night that they aren’t willing to share.

But of course, that is why the clause written by their father is so compelling—they’ll need to share in order to unlock their rights to the property and finally move on. And the secrets do start to come out… And lies are exposed… Someone is responsible for what happened to Amanda, and the journey to discovering the truth was SO much fun.

I won’t say more other than that the ending of this one is delicious and delightful!
