In KEEP NO SECRETS, the controversial follow-up to Compton's debut legal thriller TELL NO LIES, a district attorney struggles to redeem himself after a one-night stand damaged his marriage and professional reputation. After surviving the private and public fallout from a one-night stand four years before, St. Louis DA Jack Hilliard wants nothing more than to be trusted again by his wife, Claire, and to earn back the respect of the community he serves. Since the day Claire accepted him back into the family, he's vowed to be true to these goals, and so far he's succeeded. But all of Jack's efforts begin to crumble when the woman involved in his earlier downfall, Jenny Dodson, returns to town claiming threats on her life and asking for his help, and resurrecting for Jack long-buried emotions and questions of her guilt for the murder of a client. Just when he thinks the pressure can't get any worse, his son's girlfriend, Celeste, accuses him of sexual assault, and he suddenly finds himself on the wrong end of a criminal case, battling for his freedom. Can Jack trust his freedom to the legal system on which he built his career? Or will the ghost of his one-night stand four years before come back to haunt him, causing him to be convicted on the mistakes of his past?

Reviews “Like the Greek tragedies, Shakespeare and other effective fiction writers (tongue in cheek, folks) one may not like the ending, but the journey is mesmerizing and the characters could be the people next door. I have been a Julie Compton fan since "Tell No Lies" because of her talent for creating real people, her fast paced and fascinating story development, and a absolute talent for throwing in twists and turns that one would never expect.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“This book had everything I expected and more. Mystery. Lies. Betrayal. Love. Family. The author's words sucked me into the story as if I were seeing it all played out through a close friend's life. Right away the reader relates to the characters. As a woman I NEVER thought I would have any sympathy for a man that cheated on his wife. I always assumed I would HATE him. While I don't excuse Jack's actions or think there was any justification for them, I never hated him. Sure, I was


angry with him. Upset, hurt even. But never hate. With the same token I ALWAYS thought I'd hate the "Other Woman". She was a home-wrecker. A slut. But Jenny was so much more than that. While I was mad at some of her obvious manipulation tactics, I felt sorry for her. It was obvious she really did love Jack. It was also obvious she was (for the most part) willing to sacrifice her own happiness so that he would have a real chance at mending his marriage. The courtroom scenes were my favorite part. From the moment they started I couldn't put the book down. I felt like I was a part of the jury as I began to question everything I THOUGHT I knew about the story. As if every conversation I'd heard or character's thought I had insight to was merely hearsay. I loved how things were kept hidden from the reader until the evidence was presented in court. However, I didn't care for the son's girlfriend. While the reader doesn't ever question that the girl has been abused by SOMEBODY, there were too many things that seemed too planned out by her to have been simply a panicked teenager reacting to fear. She came off as very manipulative. I just didn't buy that it was all because of the terror she had if she'd told the truth. My only real complaint with the book was the ended. (view spoiler) Overall, I LOVED the author's style of writing and her ability to suck the reader in and make them a part of the story. I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more Julie Compton books that come out in the future.�
