In this book, the story revolves around a thirty year old cold case. What Anne finds as she searches for what really happened to Matthew are disturbing secrets that put her in greater danger than her first case. She’s not just dealing with the school, she’s also investigating a politician, a lawyer, and wealthy business men that had once attended the school. What she finds, disheartens her because it seems that Brent’s father is part of whatever happened to Matthew, and not just Matthew, but another person that disappeared during that time. Double murder? What was really going on with that close group of friends? While this is happening, she’s also having to deal with Brent’s way of reacting when she finds out that he’s part of a ritual, which he knows might have caused the death of Matthew that night long ago. A lot of serious, gritty issues were raised in this book, and I was like whoa, even though this group of friends came from the best schools and families, they were totally messed up, and in many different ways. Yikes!
Also, in this story, even though Anne was good at finding the clues pertaining to the case (I liked the way she did not back down, even when many people told her to stop. Even Brent. Come on Brent! :), the way she acted with both Anthony and Brent when it came to their feelings was sometimes a little bit awkward. She even told the guys, she had feelings for both (I was like, oh noooo…, couldn’t she had kept those unresolved feelings until she knew for sure. I’m still rooting for Anthony, but I have a feeling it might not end up that way...). Overall, though, Wicked Little Secrets, was a good read with its more complex mystery because Anne was not dealing with just a murder, it was also a cold case with many, many unanswered questions.
