The Cousins: Secrets: Everybody Has Them Kindle Edition

by Caron Allan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (4)
The Cousins.

Secrets. Everybody has them.

When Caitlin sits by her grandfather’s side as he lays dying, she thinks she’s about to lose her entire family. Before he passes, he makes an odd comment, leaving her with something to puzzle over, along with a set of old black and white photographs.
Then at his funeral, she meets her long-lost cousins, and soon there are even more questions to answer and puzzles to solve. Where have they been all these years? Why haven’t they been in touch if they care so much about ‘family’?
The past holds secrets. Everybody seems to have something they are keeping to themselves.
And that includes Caitlin.

Warning: contains references to child sexual abuse that readers may find upsetting.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Caron lives in Derbyshire, England, where Jane Austen's Mr Darcy came from. She hasn't met him yet, but nevertheless clings to the dream. She writes mysteries and crime but sometimes adds in a little dash of romance or fantasy.

Like many writers, Caron always wanted to write stories. She can remember announcing this to her mother when she was eight years old. Caron says, ‘I seem to remember she wasn't overly impressed.’

Caron started reading adventure stories and mysteries for children when she was around 7 or 8 and graduated to Agatha Christie and Patricia Wentworth (her faves) when around 9 or 10. She has never looked back.

Caron has tried writing literary fiction – she was terrible at it. She has tried writing romance but got bored and killed everyone off. So now she sticks to what she loves - murder mysteries. The Dottie Manderson mysteries are set in the 1930s and feature a terminally-nosy well-to-do young woman, the Miss Gascoigne mysteries are set in the 1960s and a spin-off from the Dottie books, and the Friendship Can Be Murder series are set 'now' and written as diary entries by a posh woman, Cressida Barker-Powell, who plans to make the world a better place by getting rid of bad people, starting with her mother-in-law.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping Mystery, Truly a Page-Turner!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Caitlyn inherits her grandfather’s house in the city and his cottage in the country. The estate must be worth something tremendous because cousins she’s never met come out of the woodwork.

    I asked myself early on in the book if Caitlyn (and the reader) could really trust these cousins. And all those scenes when Caitlyn is alone, going through her grandfather’s personal effects … well, I just knew something bad was going to happen to her, whether from a cousin or her late grandfather’s neighbor or maybe someone she didn’t even know about. Because Gramps had secrets!

    Either that or he’s haunting Caitlyn.

    Anyway, I have never gasped so many times while reading a mystery. The surprises and plot twists are SO GOOD! And those cousins made me wonder more than once if they were who they said they were or if I got cousins’ names mixed up or what. (Don’t worry, it all makes sense in the end.)

    The book description adds a trigger warning about child sexual assault, but Allan handles the topic with care. I think sensitive readers will be okay. Allan even addresses compassion fatigue which I think is also a problem in our contemporary society. (Head’s up: there are a smattering of curse words.)

    Overall, the mystery is intriguing, the secrets added layers of wonderful complexity, and Allan’s writing style is atmospheric at just the right places and panoramic at just the right other places and keeps a grip on the reader. Five stars!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!

    Such a good mystery! Big fan of Carons other Dottie series so I was intrigued by a standalone and it did not disappoint! Won't say too much as I don't want to spoil it, but the twists and turns kept me guessing and even a little side romance as a bonus! Great read!
