Someone knows what really happened the night Sofia Eliades died. The guilty have escaped unscathed for a decade. Can you untangle this web of lies and discover the terrible truth?

“A sharp, propulsive thriller that sucks you in from page one. Packed with unforgettable characters and chilling twists.”—Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author of Listen for the Lie

“Dark, intricate . . . perfect for fans of Ashley Winstead and Megan Miranda.”—Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room and We Were Never Here

Ten years after Sofia was killed in a tragic accident, her college ex Caroline and her former roommate Brooke almost have what they’ve always wanted. Caroline is on the precipice of scoring funding for her feminist tech startup. Brooke is newly engaged and starting her dream job at a prestigious prep school. But unless the two best friends can cheat fate a second time, one night’s secrets could unravel everything.

When Caroline gets threatening comments on her company’s Instagram and Brooke receives a sinister email with ominous photos attached, all from “Sofia,” their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble. And when one of their last connections to “Sofia” turns up dead, they must decide how far they’re willing to go in order to survive.

The devil’s in the details, and the tiniest mistake could prove fatal. Just one thing is certain: nothing is as it seems in this sinister series of events, and readers will never guess where this rabbit hole of revenge will lead. Prepare to have your allegiances shift along with every twist and turn. What was set in motion long ago is hurtling toward a jaw-dropping conclusion that will shock even the most hardcore thriller fans. Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Exciting

“Sofia” reader very sing-song. Distracting. Reminds me of a child learning to read who ends every sentence as a question

In her spectacular debut novel, Are Secrets Were Safe, Virginia Trench crafts a psychological maze that leaves the reader on the edge of their seat. The novel focuses on three strong women protagonists, Sofia, Caroline and Brooke who need/must keep their secrets from college safe. Ms. Trench's writing style is gripping, with great development of characters, references to literature and art and suspense throughout. She use the "now -then" mode of writing and brief chapters to keep their suspense alive. She explores character identity, trust issues and personality flaws masterfully.
Are Secrets Were Safe was a terrific debut novel. I rank her book with the books of my favorite authors such as Gillian Flynn and Lisa Jewell. I very much look forward to her second novel to be released next year.

Extraordinarily gripping story where no one has clean hands. Once the reader gets used to the time shifting, the story unfolds with enough twists & turns, any Christie or LaCarre fan will be intrigued!

I powered through this audiobook in three days! I don’t typically read this genre, but book club brought me here. I don’t go for the thriller type books, but this one stayed grounded in reality and was not “soap opera” like. The storyline was great, characters were great, and it kept me thoroughly engaged. Makes me re-think my stance on the genre. Would recommend for readers of all types.

I’m a good guesser and this challenged me

Decent thriller with underwhelming twists. My attention wavered and I never felt truly sucked in. The narrators are great if slightly melodramatic. Overall good but not remarkable.

Just okay
