One Last Secret by Adele Parks is fiction noir at its finest. At the beginning of the book, Dora, the narrator, is a high priced escort living in London. Dora’s many secrets are revealed as she tells her story.
Dora meets her various rich and powerful clients in the usually opulent destinations of their choosing, and she accepts gifts from some of them; but she is also aware that her profession comes with risks. Away from work she winds down with Evan, her wealthy, and straight, friend who obviously cares deeply for her and is always there if she needs him.
The story is packed with surprises and it becomes deeper and darker as Dora reveals more. I could not see what was coming as Dora unlocked her secrets, one by one. It is an absolutely gripping read as Dora finds out just how risky her lifestyle has become and this book should come with a warning: lots of nail biting ahead.
Those secrets keep coming right up to the final pages. The thing I like most about Adele Parks’s books is just as I’m thinking: please don’t end yet, because it’s all been explained but I wish I could keep reading, up pops another page with another tiny piece of the puzzle which I hadn’t even realised was missing, to make a brilliant completion!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m on a reading roll!
