review 1: Jackie Weger's new novel No Perfect Secret is about a woman, Anne Nesmith, who suddenly realizes that someone very close to her, someone she's shared her life with in the most intimate way possible, is someone she doesn't really know at all.Anna works in DC as a Senate research assistant at the Library of Congress. Her husband Kevin is a State Department courier who lives his life on airplanes which means Anne lives her life alone. And childless, a condition she desperately wants to change.One snowy winter's night Frank Caburn, a "Government man," knocks on Anne's door and her entire world crumbles around her. With each passing day she finds herself becoming more entangled in a web of deceit and mystery not of her making. Down is up. Up is down. And everything seems to be... more inside out. She also finds herself falling in love with Frank Caburn, which makes Anne question who she really is. Frank seems quite odd, as if he's been snatched out of the 1950s complete with Old Spice aftershave. Who is he really? Why is she so attracted to him? And then there's the issue of the missing body. As if this isn't confusing enough, Anne's life is bombarded with a cavalcade of odd-ball characters, including a 90 year old granny who throws one hell of a Christmas party, and an outlaw in-law that wants to kill Anne.Jackie Weger has spun a skillful and entertaining romance novel. I know I'm not the target audience but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. As Gertrude Stein once said, "A good story is a good story is a good story." If you know someone who is a fan of romance novels, stuff this in their stocking. Highly recommended.
review 2: I received this book in exchange for an honest review. ‘No Perfect Secret’ by Jackie Weger is a book that I was not able to put down. The laundry could wrinkle in the dryer, I had to read the next chapter, and the next, and the next, etc. Anna Nesmith has been married to Kevin for 10 years. Clara Alice her mother-in-law has been living with them since 9/11. An unexpected knock on the door during a terrible sleet storm starts the unraveling of the secrets and lies that Kevin and Clara Alice have told Anna. I don’t want to be a “spoiler” so that is all I am going to say. The twists that the plot takes is part of the reason that I could not put the book down. I had to know what happened next. I would rate this book more than 5 stars if I could. less
