Beloved teacher Cate Walker and her eight year old son Archie are missing. There are rumours that Cate's husband Oliver, the Head Teacher at the school, may know more than he is letting on...

But how can that be true? And would Oliver really be involved in disappearing a child?!

There is someone in the school who is determined to find out the truth about what happened to Cate and Archie. But what if pursuing the truth means having a target on your back?

This was an entertaining story, and Lauren North is a very talented author. I have read one of her other books and loved it, so was excited to have the opportunity to read this.

It is an engrossing story, and with the number of red herrings she throws your way, and the expert fashion in which she takes you along for the ride, you are left in no doubt that you are in the hands of a skilled writer.

This talented author has written a cannot put down mystery. Red herrings and secrets…family and friends…even the title is intriguing. Realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. A page turner…mysterious happenings…likable characters and some not so much. Do not try to discern the ending too soon. It is not easy. Surprises…thanks Netgalley.

Wow, just wow! How can a written review do any justice to this book?

North is a brilliant author and one of the best of our time. This is a book that kept me awake, far later than planned. I devoured this in just one sitting with no regrets.

Cate and son Archie are missing. This really starts off this one for us as a reader. North has given us a number of perspectives which has really helped get to know the characters.

This is another masterpiece from North. Everything about this book is brilliant. From the very first page, I devoured this gem in one sitting. I was hooked, feeling completely engaged and unwilling to put this down.

The characters are fascinating, I found that at different points they all had me suspicious. I do love that about North- you can never predict degree the plot may go.

Everything about this book has been brilliant. There are no negatives about this book. I’ve read all of North’s books and can hand on heart say, this is a book which pulls you in and is impossible to down.

North has written another masterpiece and I can’t wait to tell everyone to read this. The Teacher’s Secret has been everything I wanted and so much more. This book is genius and the work of one of the best.

It would be a crime to miss out on this book. It’s brilliant from beginning to end. Nothing negative can be said about this one.

I have no hesitation in recommending this book.
