What to expect

Penguin presents the audio download edition of Can You Keep a Secret by Karen Perry, read by Grainne Gillis.

It's been twenty years since Lindsey has seen her best friend Rachel

Twenty years since she has set foot in Thornbury Hall - the now crumbling home of the Bagenal family - where they spent so much time as teenagers. Since Patrick Bagenal's 18th birthday party, the night everything changed.

It's time for a reunion

Patrick has decided on one last hurrah before closing the doors of his family home for good. All of the old crowd, back together for a weekend.

For the secrets to come out

It's not long before secrets begin to float to the surface. Everything that Lindsey shared with her best friend at sixteen and everything that she didn't.

But some secrets should never be told. They need to be taken to the grave. While others require revenge at any cost.
