Open Secrets

May 28, 2025

Read American Library in Paris Writer-in-Residence Sheila Kohler’s thriller novel, Open Secrets, published by Penguin Random House.

Watch for the re-release of some of her other books later this year!

The lies between a husband and wife are revealed, unraveling their family in this thrilling novel that moves between the French Riviera, Switzerland, and Amagansett.

When Michel discovers his wife’s betrayal, danger circles – particularly around their daughter – in a novel about family, love, and the inescapable consequences of one’s own actions.

“Open Secrets is a riveting and elegant suspense novel in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith. Sheila Kohler’s razor sharp language dazzles and beguiles.” – Carol Goodman, bestselling author of  The Lake of Dead Languages and The Sea of Lost Girls.
