A deserted train station: A man waits. A woman watches.

Chris is ready to join his wife. He’s planned this moment for nearly a year. The date. The time. The train. But he hadn’t factored in Sarah.

So when Sarah walks on to the platform and sees a man swaying at the edge she assumes he’s just had too much to drink. What she doesn’t expect is to stop a suicide.

As Sarah becomes obsessed with discovering the secrets that Chris is clearly hiding, he becomes obsessed with stopping her, protecting her.

But there are some secrets that are meant to stay buried…

Pre-order Close Your Eyes… Darren’s thrilling second book, coming May 2018!

Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, BA Paris and Holly Seddon.

About the author

Following being accepted in the Faber and Faber novel writing programme in 2015 he fine tuned his hand and during that 6 month training programme 'Our Little Secret' was born.

Our little secret

Slow read, after reading 50%, nothing has happened. This is the first novel i just could not finish

Redr00 ,

Literally the worst.

I not only want my money back, I want back the time I wasted reading this. I couldn’t even really finish it. I just skimmed the last 80 pages to make sure it was really as predictable as it seemed. Don’t bother buying. It’s slow, boring, unimaginative. The main characters are dumb: Chris’s “madness” and emotions are not believable. Steve is a convenient plot mover. And Sarah... can she be any more horrible? Basically falling in love with a crazy person after spending 5 minutes with him on a train platform and “accidentally” stopping his suicide? And then even though she knows his name she can’t seem to find him again? Not until like three quarters of the way through the book does she decide to google him. This book is a trash fire.
