From the bestselling author of Dark August comes a tense, moody thriller about a reclusive grandmother forced to confront her darkest fears to protect her family from a ruthless foe.
Seventy-year-old Lenny Bird lives in a cage of her own making. It’s protected by a strong will, stubborn habits, and hidden secrets—like the crime scene photos in her basement. And the body in her backyard.
Lenny shut down long ago, when her daughter was murdered and her husband committed suicide. But fifteen years later, a court has ordered her estranged grandson Juls to move back in with her when he’s arrested, courtesy of his notorious paternal grandfather. Juls has crossed the wrong people and his criminal world comes crashing through Lenny’s door, along with his twin daughters.
Lenny’s sanctuary overrun, she and Juls clash over long-held grudges. When she delves into his shady world, Lenny realizes he’s more pawn than player. But when her investigation threatens to dredge up her own dark past, Lenny must fight a ruthless crime boss—and choose between protecting her private purgatory … or breaking free to save the family she loves.

“From the get-go, a tense thriller with buried secrets, well-drawn characters and a riveting story that will keep you turning the pages.”—Rick Mofina, USA Today, Globe and Mail, and Toronto Star bestselling author
“Katie Tallo has done it again. Where Her Secrets Lie is an unputdownable web of secrets and lies with a cast of compelling characters who are brilliantly flawed in all the right ways. In the vein of The Thursday Murder Club, but with a delectable edge.”—Tamara L. Miller, bestselling author of Into the Fall
“Katie Tallo’s Where Her Secrets Lie introduces Eleanor ‘Lenny’ Bird, a septuagenarian, kickboxing, hard-drinking grandmother whose audacious spirit comes in handy when she faces off against a terrifying local crime boss. Set in the sinister underbelly of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, the novel is both a fun and twisty thriller and an exploration of family and second chances. Highly recommend!”—Uzma Jalaluddin, bestselling author of Moonlight Murder and Detective Aunty
