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

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.

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
