About the book

About Hidden Among Secrets: Sometimes the only way out of grief is revenge.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A KILLER? LuAnn knows exactly what it takes. He's her prisoner now. And all she has to do is pull the trigger. LuAnn’s social media platform gives her thousands of followers an unfiltered look into the world of this wealthy Philadelphia wife and mother. Her Monday morning blog Just Like LuAnn presents her life as both enviable and relatable. As she plans a lavish gala for her 30th wedding anniversary—already teased across Instagram and Facebook—one post sets off a chain of revelations, and LuAnn begins to suspect the boundaries of her private world aren’t as private as she believed. When secrets surface, she and her daughters—Gianna, Stella, and Trinity—are pulled into a web of betrayal, blackmail, and deceit. Driven by love and regret, LuAnn has found the means to get away with murder...but does she have the heart to carry it out? Set in modern-day Philadelphia, this story traces LuAnn’s life: from a curious child exploring the neighborhood mortuary with her best friend, to a young woman entangled with a man whose family legacy is steeped in violence, to a mother reckoning with the aftermath of her grown daughters’ traumas. Through it all, LuAnn is determined to prove the ties that bind her family are stronger than the secrets that threaten to destroy them. Provocative, funny, and unsettling, Lyn Shaffer’s debut novel will have you second-guessing everything…just like LuAnn. This immersive 450-page psychological thriller is one you won’t put down.
