Publishers Weekly, starred review

An exquisite stately home caught in the stultifying summer’s heat; ripe gardens and inviting river. First love and sexual awakenings. Glamorous interiors. A story waiting to be unravelled and understood. Chase’s numerous fans are in for a treat with a propulsive mystery, luminous writing, and characters who stayed with me. Quite possibly her best yet

Sarah Vaughan, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Anatomy of a Scandal</i>

The Secret Thread is a stunning, evocative novel that pulls you into a hot summer on a grand country estate, in which the lives of two families become fatally entwined. Characters you feel like you know coupled with descriptions that are wonderfully lush and vivid meant I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I had to find out what happened to them all

Araminta Hall

The novel really is proof that the treasures we hold onto are more than mementos of our past; they are also keys to our future. The Secret Thread is supremely clever, glittering with glamour, and exquisitely tied together with the most beautiful denouement. A stunning achievement. I loved it.

Amanda Geard

The Secret Thread is a tantalizing, evocative mystery. Eve Chase’s trademark gorgeous prose conjures up vivid, splendid settings, where upstairs, downstairs and family dramas play out to a tragic end. The truth lies in memories that must be unpicked decades later. Ambition, identity, love and family ties are the stakes. A stunning novel

Gilly Macmillan

Exquisite! Shimmering with allure, The Secret Thread is a story of embroidered memories, naked ambition and families ripped asunder. With rich, textured prose, the star-crossed lives of the earthy Bramleys and the celestial Caswells unfold deliciously in this addictive read

Evie Woods, internationally bestselling author of <i>The Lost Bookshop</i>

The intriguing story of Mimi Mott, with its myriad strands that eventually weave together all the secrets of her past, is riveting from the very first page. Sibling rivalry, unrequited love, class divides and a dazzling career span decades and countries– no-one does glamorous family drama like Eve Chase. It glitters and winks and shines, never letting up for a moment. Absolutely gorgeous

Veronica Henry, the million copy bestselling author

The Secret Thread is sensational - Eve Chase is a writer at the top of her game. Gripping, immersive and hair-raisingly beautiful, it is written with Chase’s absolutely peerless style and flair for character. I adored every word, every page

Rosie Walsh, author of <i>The One Day You Were My Husband</i>

An intriguing mystery wrapped in the sumptuously glamorous life of a famous designer, The Secret Thread is a story beautifully and compassionately told. With shades of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo I was enthralled till the very end
